Sīlasampannasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Ye te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū sīlasampannā samādhisampannā paññāsampannā vimuttisampannā vimuttiñāṇadassanasampannā ovādakā viññāpakā sandassakā samādapakā samuttejakā sampahaṁsakā alaṁsamakkhātāro saddhammassa dassanampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi;“Monks, those monks who are consummate in virtue, consummate in concentration,
consummate in discernment, consummate in release, consummate in the knowledge & vision of release;
who exhort, demonstrate, instruct, urge, rouse & encourage;
who are competent rightly to point out the true Dhamma:
seeing them, I tell you, accomplishes a great deal;
savanampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi;listening to them…
upasaṅkamanampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi;approaching them…
payirupāsanampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi;attending to them…
anussaraṇampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi;
anussaraṇampahaṁ → anussatimpahaṁ (sya-all)recollecting them…
anupabbajjampahaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bahūpakāraṁ vadāmi.following them in going forth accomplishes a great deal.
Taṁ kissa hetu?Why is that?
Tathārūpe, bhikkhave, bhikkhū sevato bhajato payirupāsato aparipūropi sīlakkhandho bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati, aparipūropi samādhikkhandho bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati, aparipūropi paññākkhandho bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati, aparipūropi vimuttikkhandho bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati, aparipūropi vimuttiñāṇadassanakkhandho bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati.“By associating with monks of this sort, sharing with them, attending to them,
the as-yet-unculminated aggregate of virtue goes to the culmination of its development,
the as-yet-unculminated aggregate of concentration goes to the culmination of its development,
the as-yet-unculminated aggregate of discernment goes to the culmination of its development,
the as-yet-unculminated aggregate of release goes to the culmination of its development,
the as-yet-unculminated aggregate of knowledge & vision of release goes to the culmination of its development.
Evarūpā ca te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū satthārotipi vuccanti, satthavāhātipi vuccanti, raṇañjahātipi vuccanti, tamonudātipi vuccanti, ālokakarātipi vuccanti, obhāsakarātipi vuccanti, pajjotakarātipi vuccanti, ukkādhārātipi vuccanti, pabhaṅkarātipi vuccanti, ariyātipi vuccanti, cakkhumantotipi vuccantī”ti.Monks of this sort are said to be teachers, caravan leaders,
abandoners of strife, dispellers of darkness, makers of light,
makers of radiance, makers of brightness, makers of brilliance,
bringers of illumination, noble ones, endowed with eyes that see.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Pāmojjakaraṇaṁ ṭhānaṁ, etaṁ hoti vijānataṁ;
Pāmojjakaraṇaṁ ṭhānaṁ → pāmojjakaraṇaṭṭhānaṁ (bj, sya-all); pāmujjakaraṇaṁ ṭhānaṁ (pts-vp-pli1)This is a condition creating joy for those who know: Yadidaṁ bhāvitattānaṁ, ariyānaṁ dhammajīvinaṁ.living the Dhamma of the noble ones, composed in mind.Te jotayanti saddhammaṁ, bhāsayanti pabhaṅkarā;They brighten the true Dhamma, illumine it, shining brilliantly. Ālokakaraṇā dhīrā, cakkhumanto raṇañjahā.They are makers of light, enlightened, abandoners of strife. They have eyes that see.
Yesaṁ ve sāsanaṁ sutvā, sammadaññāya paṇḍitā;Having heard their message with right gnosis, the wise Jātikkhayamabhiññāya, nāgacchanti punabbhavan”ti.directly knowing the ending of birth, come to no further becoming.
