176. Rapture |
| (derived from B.Sujato trans.) | |
Atha kho anāthapiṇḍiko gahapati |
Then the householder Anāthapiṇḍika, |
pañcamattehi upāsakasatehi parivuto |
escorted by around five hundred lay followers, |
yena bhagavā ten-upasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā |
went up to the Buddha, bowed, |
ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho anāthapiṇḍikaṃ gahapatiṃ |
and sat down to one side. |
bhagavā etadavoca: |
The Buddha said to him: |
“Tumhe kho, gahapati, bhikkhusaṅghaṃ paccupaṭṭhitā cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārena. |
“Householders, you have supplied the monk Saṅgha with robes, alms-food, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick. |
Na kho, gahapati, tāvatakeneva tuṭṭhi karaṇīyā: |
But you should not be content with just this much. |
‘mayaṃ bhikkhusaṅghaṃ paccupaṭṭhitā cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārenā’ti. |
|
Tasmātiha, gahapati, evaṃ sikkhitabbaṃ: |
So you should train like this: |
‘kinti mayaṃ kālena kālaṃ pavivekaṃ pītiṃ upasampajja vihareyyāmā’ti. |
‘How can we, from time to time, enter and dwell in the rapture of seclusion?’ |
Evañhi vo, gahapati, sikkhitabban”ti. |
That’s how you should train.” |
Evaṃ vutte, āyasmā sāriputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: |
When he said this, Venerable Sāriputta said to the Buddha: |
“acchariyaṃ, bhante, abbhutaṃ, bhante. |
“It’s incredible, sir, it’s amazing! |
Yāva subhāsitañcidaṃ, bhante, bhagavatā: |
How well said this was by the Buddha: |
‘tumhe kho, gahapati, bhikkhusaṃghaṃ paccupaṭṭhitā cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārena. |
‘Householders, you have supplied the monk Saṅgha with robes, alms-food, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick. |
Na kho, gahapati, tāvatakeneva tuṭṭhi karaṇīyā— |
But you should not be content with just this much. |
mayaṃ bhikkhusaṃghaṃ paccupaṭṭhitā cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārenāti. |
|
Tasmātiha, gahapati, evaṃ sikkhitabbaṃ— |
So you should train like this: |
kinti mayaṃ kālena kālaṃ |
“How can we, from time to time, |
pa-vivekaṃ pītiṃ upasampajja vihareyyāmāti. |
enter and dwell in the rapture of seclusion?” |
Evañhi vo, gahapati, sikkhitabban’ti. |
That’s how you should train.’ |
