MohapariññāsuttaComplete Understanding of Delusion
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“Mohaṁ, bhikkhave, anabhijānaṁ aparijānaṁ tattha cittaṁ avirājayaṁ appajahaṁ abhabbo dukkhakkhayāya.“Mendicants, without directly knowing and completely understanding delusion, without dispassion for it and giving it up, you can’t end suffering. Mohañca kho, bhikkhave, abhijānaṁ parijānaṁ tattha cittaṁ virājayaṁ pajahaṁ bhabbo dukkhakkhayāyā”ti.By directly knowing and completely understanding delusion, having dispassion for it and giving it up, you can end suffering.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.The Buddha spoke this matter. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:On this it is said:
“Yena mohena mūḷhāse, sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ;“When overcome by delusion beings go to a bad place. Taṁ mohaṁ sammadaññāya, pajahanti vipassino;Having rightly understood that delusion, the discerning give it up. Pahāya na punāyanti, imaṁ lokaṁ kudācanan”ti.Once they’ve given it up, they never return to this world.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
