Diṭṭhigatasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Dvīhi, bhikkhave, diṭṭhigatehi pariyuṭṭhitā devamanussā olīyanti eke, atidhāvanti eke; cakkhumanto ca passanti.“Overcome by two viewpoints, monks, some human & divine beings adhere, other human & divine beings slip right past, while those with vision see.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, olīyanti eke?“And how do some adhere? Bhavārāmā, bhikkhave, devamanussā bhavaratā bhavasammuditā tesaṁ bhavanirodhāya dhamme desiyamāne cittaṁ na pakkhandati na pasīdati na santiṭṭhati nādhimuccati.Human & divine beings enjoy becoming, delight in becoming, are satisfied with becoming. When the Dhamma is being taught for the sake of the cessation of becoming, their minds do not take to it, are not calmed by it, do not settle on it or become resolved on it. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, olīyanti eke.This is how some adhere.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, atidhāvanti eke?“And how do some slip right past?
Bhaveneva kho paneke aṭṭīyamānā harāyamānā jigucchamānā vibhavaṁ abhinandanti—Some, feeling horrified, humiliated, & disgusted with that very becoming, relish non-becoming:
yato kira, bho, ayaṁ attā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā ucchijjati vinassati na hoti paraṁ maraṇā;
attā → satto (si, mr); attho (pts-vp-pli1)‘When this self, at the break-up of the body, after death, perishes & is destroyed,
etaṁ santaṁ etaṁ paṇītaṁ etaṁ yāthāvanti.and does not exist after death, that is peaceful, that is exquisite, that is sufficiency!’
Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, atidhāvanti eke.This is how some slip right past.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, cakkhumanto passanti?“And how do those with vision see? Idha bhikkhu bhūtaṁ bhūtato passati;There is the case where a monk sees what’s come to be as what’s come to be. bhūtaṁ bhūtato disvā bhūtassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.Seeing what’s come to be as what’s come to be, he practices for disenchantment with what’s come to be, dispassion toward what’s come to be, cessation of what’s come to be. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, cakkhumanto passantī”ti.This is how those with vision see.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Ye bhūtaṁ bhūtato disvā, bhūtassa ca atikkamaṁ;
Ye → yo (sya-all, pts-vp-pli1, mr)Those, having seen what’s come to be as what’s come to be, and what’s gone beyond what’s come to be, Yathābhūte vimuccanti, bhavataṇhā parikkhayā.are released in line with what’s come to be, through the exhaustion of craving for becoming.Sa ve bhūtapariñño so, vītataṇho bhavābhave;
Sa ve → sace (si, sya-all)If they’ve comprehended what’s come to be, and are free from the craving for becoming & non-, Bhūtassa vibhavā bhikkhu, nāgacchati punabbhavan”ti.with the non-becoming of what’s come to be, monks come to no further becoming.
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Dve indriyā dve tapanīyā, sīlena apare duve; Anottāpī kuhanā dve ca, saṁvejanīyena te dasa.
Vitakkā desanā vijjā, paññā dhammena pañcamaṁ; Ajātaṁ dhātusallānaṁ, sikkhā jāgariyena ca; Apāyadiṭṭhiyā ceva, bāvīsati pakāsitāti.
ceva → yeva (sya-all)
