Jāgariyasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Jāgaro cassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vihareyya sato sampajāno samāhito pamudito vippasanno ca tattha kālavipassī ca kusalesu dhammesu.“Monks, a monk should be wakeful: mindful, alert, centered, sensitive, clear, & calm. And there he should, at the appropriate times, see clearly into skillful mental qualities. Jāgarassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno viharato satassa sampajānassa samāhitassa pamuditassa vippasannassa tattha kālavipassino kusalesu dhammesu dvinnaṁ phalānaṁ aññataraṁ phalaṁ pāṭikaṅkhaṁ—For a monk who is wakeful–mindful, alert, centered, sensitive, clear, & calm, seeing clearly, at the appropriate times, into skillful mental qualities–one of two fruits can be expected: diṭṭheva dhamme aññā, sati vā upādisese anāgāmitā”ti.either gnosis right in the here-&-now, or–if there be any remnant of clinging-sustenance–non-return.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Jāgarantā suṇāthetaṁ, ye suttā te pabujjhatha;Those who are wakeful, listen to this! those who are sleeping, wake up! Suttā jāgaritaṁ seyyo, natthi jāgarato bhayaṁ.Wakefulness is better than sleep. for those who are wakeful, there’s no danger, no fear.
Yo jāgaro ca satimā sampajāno, samāhito mudito vippasanno ca;Whoever is wakeful, mindful, alert, centered, sensitive, calm, & clear, Kālena so sammā dhammaṁ parivīmaṁsamāno, ekodibhūto vihane tamaṁ so.rightly exploring the Dhamma at appropriate times, he–on becoming unified– could shatter the darkness.
Tasmā have jāgariyaṁ bhajetha, ātāpī bhikkhu nipako jhānalābhī;So be devoted to wakefulness. the ardent monk –masterful, acquiring jhāna, Saṁyojanaṁ jātijarāya chetvā, idheva sambodhimanuttaraṁ phuse”ti.cutting the fetter of birth & aging– touches right here a self-awakening un- surpassed.
