Lobhasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Ekadhammaṁ, bhikkhave, pajahatha;“Abandon one quality, monks, and I guarantee you non-return. ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāya. Katamaṁ ekadhammaṁ?Which one quality? Lobhaṁ, bhikkhave, ekadhammaṁ pajahatha;Abandon greed as the one quality, and I guarantee you non-return.” ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāyā”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.This is the meaning of what the Blessed One said. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:So with regard to this it was said:
“Yena lobhena luddhāse, sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ;The greed with which beings go to a bad destination, coveting: Taṁ lobhaṁ sammadaññāya, pajahanti vipassino;from rightly knowing that greed, those who see clearly let go. Pahāya na punāyanti, imaṁ lokaṁ kudācanan”ti.Letting go, they never come to this world again.
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.This, too, was the meaning of what was said by the Blessed One, so I have heard.
