Mahādukkhakkhanda Sutta

---

I heard this:

At one time, the Exalted One in Savatthi, in Jetavana, in the garden of Anathapindika (Anathapindika).

At that time many bhikkhuni morning sickness, holding the bowl, into the city of alms begging. Then the monks thought: "It is too early to go begging in Savatthi. Let's go to the garden of the Pious." The bhikkhus go to the garden of the Gentleman, saying the blessings ask the courtesy and sit down one side. The foreigner said to the monks sitting on one side.

- Chu Hiền, Gotama clarified the complete understanding of the sex, we also highlight the complete understanding of the sex. In the case of Gotama, Gotama states the complete understanding of rupas, we also express the complete understanding of rupas. In the name of Gotama, Gotama states the complete understanding of the sensations. We also express the complete understanding of the sensations. What are the particular characteristics, differences, and differences between Gotama and us about the teachings or the teachings?

They do not congratulate nor say the words of the pagans, not happy, not criticize, the bhikkhu from the seat stand up, farewell to the thought: "We will Learn the meaning of this saying from the Buddha. "

Then the monks, after begging in Savatthi, when finished eating and go begging, went immediately to the Blessed One, bowed to Him and sat down. After sitting down on one side,

- Lord, we here in the morning to cover him, holding the bowl in Savatthi alms. Lord Buddha, then we think: "It is too early to beg for food in Savatthi. Lord Buddha, then we go to the garden of the Gentleman, after the completion of, say the blessing to ask the courtesy and sit down one side, the Blessed Exalted, said the exorcist said We are sitting on one side: "Sensei, Gotama clarifies the complete understanding of the lusts, we also highlight the complete understanding of the lusts. The pure knowledge of rupas, we also clearly state the complete understanding of rupas. Hautanga, Gotama states the complete understanding of the senses. know completely about the feelings.

- Bhikkhus, the pagans said so should be answered as follows: "Hien, what is the sweet taste of sex? What is the danger, how is the glass? What is the sweetness of the qualities, what is the danger, how is the separation? What is the sweetness of feeling, how is the danger, how is the glass? When asked, the pagans can not answer and will be caught up in other difficulties. Why? Monks, because this problem is not in their ability to understand. O bhikkhus, I do not see anyone in this world with the gods, Mara, Brahman, with the Sa-ard, brahmanas, with the gods and humans, the answers to the questions Accepted, except Tathagata, Tathagata disciples and those who hear these two.

(The sweet taste)

And these monks, what is the sweet taste of sex? Ourshūnas, there are five legal growth of this sex: the material sense of mind, craving, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, correspond to sex, attractive, the sound at the base of consciousness ... the smell of the mind is aware of ... the loss of consciousness ... the awareness of body, consciousness, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, pleasure, corresponding to sex, attractive . O bhikkhus, there are five legal education as such. The rate-pretentious, y on the French educational growth, there is ecstasy up, so is the sweet taste.

O bhikkhus, what is the danger of sex? Here, the rate-pretentious, good man living with the profession, such as counting fingers, as calculated, as estimated, such as farming, such as trading, like cattle, like archery, as do Work for the king, as a career. He has to withstand the cold, heats up, suffers from the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, heat, sun, reptiles, starved to die of hunger. The monks, such as the danger of education, practical present, in the aggregate, taking sex as a cause, taking sex as a charm, is the source of sex, the cause of sex.

Behold, the bhikkhu, if the son of such efforts, so diligent, so diligent, but the property is not to his hands, he lamenting, sorrows grumble, chest beat, unconscious man: "Oh, our effort is really useless, our inexperience really does not work." So, monks, as such, is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

If monks, if such efforts, so diligently, so diligently, and these assets are to his hands, because of the property, he felt life Distressed, anxious, "How do the kings of the robbers take away, how can the thieves steal from them, how can the fire from burning, the water from being washed away, or the unworthy heirs from robbing them? " Even though he is so guarded, the king still robs those possessions, the thieves still rob, the fire is still burning, the water is washed away or the unworthy heirs still rob them. . He is lamenting, sad, crying, chest beat, unconscious man: "What is mine, now I do not have anymore." This is the danger of the sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, the rate-pretentious, due to sex as a cause, due to sex, as a cause, by virtue of humanity, the king is fighting with the king, killing with emperor , Brahmin contended with Ba-la-subjects, the owner of the war with the landlord, mother to fight with the children, I fight with my mother, father to fight with children, I fight with my father, brother With you, he contended with her, she contended with him, friends fight with friends. When they engage in disputes, arguments, contention; they break hands with each other; they rock together; they break with each other; they break apart with sword.Here they go to death, go to the suffering almost death. This is the danger of the sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, bhikkhus, by virtue of being human beings, by virtue of their own actions, they hold the contradiction, they wear the bow and the name, they are arrayed on two sides, and the name is shot on each other, throw each other, earn swords together. They shot each other by name, they threw each other with a knife, they cut their heads with the sword. Here they go to death, go to the suffering almost death. This is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, these monks, by virtue of humanity ... by virtue of their own conduct, they hold the contradiction, they wear bow and arrows, they destroy the new lacquer bowl and the name is shot each other, The flop was thrown to each other, the swords hit each other. Here, they shot each other by name, they threw each other with a knife, they poured boiling water, they crushed each other with stones, they cut off their heads with the sword. Here they go to death, go to the suffering almost death.This is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, bhikkhus, by virtue of being a human being, they break into houses, they rob things, they act like robbers, they ambush the big roads, they go to his wife. Kinsmen, when caught with such a person, apply the wrongful punishment. They beat with a stick, they beat with a stick, they cut with a claw, they cut off their hands, they cut off their legs, they cut off their limbs, they cut their ears, they cut their noses, cut off their nose, They use criminal punishment (they cut the top of the head into an oyster). The execution area (take the braided braid and squeeze it ...) cover the picture (take the bark for the shirt) ... antelope shape (penalty goat mountain) ... sentence humiliation meat) ... pre-shaped (cut meat into money) ... shaped blocks ... transformed ... high pitched ... they watered with boiling oil, they fed the dogs, they pounded the living, they cut their heads with the sword. Here they go to death, go to the suffering almost death. This is the danger of sex ... (as above) ... is the cause of sex.

Again, these monks, by virtue of humanity ... by virtue of doing human beings, they live as bad acts of the body, do the evil of words, do the evil of the mind. Because they live as evil acts of the body, do the evil of the words, do the evil of the mind, when the body of the common body, they are born in the realm of evil, the beast, the land, hell. The monks, such as the danger of sexual desire, lead to future suffering, is suffering aggregates, due to sexual desire, due to sex, as a condition, by virtue of cause, by virtue of humanity.

O bhikkhus, what is the separation of the sex? O bhikkhus, this is the sexual desire to engage with the sex, the eradication of lust, such as the separation of sex.

The monks, the Sa-subjects, Brahmins do not like the real sweet taste of sex is so sweet, the danger is such a danger, the glass is the glass Those who are certain will not be as knowledgeable as their sexuality, nor will they be able to place others in a similar position, ie, as the knowledge of the sex, such events can not occur. . The monks, the Sa-subject, Brahman-like knowledge of the sweet taste of sex is so sweet, the danger is such a danger, the glass is such a glass Those who are certain of being true to their sexual desires may also place others in a similar position, ie, as the knowledge of the lusts, such events occur.

(Sweetness of material things)

And these bhikkhus, what is the sweetness of the material things? Monks, like young women of Aries, Brahmins or maids, about the age of fifteen or sixteen, not too big, not too low, not too sick , not too fat, not too black, not too white, these monks, were in those days, they reached the ultimate magic, the ultimate beauty?

- Righteous, right.

- Monks, he goes on beautiful beauty that begins to enjoy and enjoy life, so is the sweet nature.

And this, monks, what is the danger of the material things? The monks, here one can see her grandmother at another time, about eighty years old, ninety years old or one hundred years old, weak, curved like roofs, back, must lean on the stick to resist. shaved, sick, sick, young, had fallen, bearded, silver hair, decayed, wolf head, wrinkled skin, hands and feet are dry gray. What kind of monks do you think? Did the beauty of his old beauty disappear, and the danger has arisen?

- Lord, that is true.

- Bhikkhus, this is the danger of material things. Again, bhikkhus, one can see her mother suffering from sickness, depression, lying down in her urine, have to raise people, have to lie down. What kind of monks do you think? Did the beauty of his old beauty disappear, and the danger has arisen?

- Lord, that is true.

- Bhikkhus, this is the danger of material things. Again, these bhikkhus, the girl was seen, the body was thrown into the graveyard, a day or two days or three days, the body swelled up, dark blue again, rotten rotten. What kind of monks do you think? Did the beauty of the old beauty of the girl disappear and the danger has appeared?

- Lord, that is true.

- Bhikkhus, this is the danger of material things. Again, these bhikkhus, the girl was seen, the body was thrown into the graveyard, eaten by crows, eaten by hawks, or eaten by the hawks, or by the dogs eat or be eaten by predators, or eaten by insects. What kind of monks do you think? Is the beauty of the beauty of the old girl gone now and the danger has appeared?

- Lord, that is true.

- Bhikkhus, this is the danger of material things. Again, this bhikkhu, the girl was seen, the body was thrown in the graveyard, the skeletons were linked together, and the flesh and blood, also the tapered lines ... with the skeletons also linked together, no longer meat but blood, but also the tendons of the skeleton, no meat, no blood, also tied, only the bone is not attached to Here are the bones of the hand, here is the bones of the legs, here is the bones of the bones, here is the bones of the bones, here is the buttocks, here is the bones, here is the bones. head. What kind of monks do you think? Did the beauty of her old beauty disappear, and the danger was revealed?

- Lord, that is true.

- Bhikkhus, this is the danger of material things. Again, these bhikkhus, the girl was seen, the body was thrown into the graveyard, only the white shell of the shells ... only a pile of bones longer than a year ... only the remaining rotten bones become powdery. What kind of monks do you think? Did the beauty of her old beauty disappear, and the danger emerged?

- Lord, that is true.

- Bhikkhus, this is the danger of material things.

What is the rate of monks and what is the output of material things? O bhikkhus, this is the sexual retribution of the material qualities, the renunciation of lust, such as the extraction of material qualities.

Monks, brahmanas, brahmanas do not like the real knowledge of the sweet taste of material things is so sweet, the danger is such a danger, the glass is the glass Thus, these persons are unlikely to be as knowledgeable of their material qualities, nor are they able to place others in a similar position, ie, as the material knowledge of such phenomena. happening. The monks, the Sa-subject, Brahman-like knowledge of the sweet taste of material things is so sweet, the danger is such a danger, the glass is the glass Those who are certain of their material qualities, they may also place others in a similar position, ie as the material knowledge of such phenomena, such events take place.

(Sweetness of the sensation)

And this, monks, how sweet is the feeling? Here the bhikkhus of education, separation of the unwholesome, self-evidence and reside in the first Zen, a state of ecstasy by divorce, there are four. In the meantime, if he does not think of self-harm, he does not think of harming people, not thinking of harming them both, while he feels a harmless feeling. O bhikkhus, that harmless supreme, I say is the sweetness of feeling.

Again, the rate-rate-pretentious killings and quadrupled, the test and stay in the second Meditation, a state of ecstasy by birth, non-quadruple, within one province ... The mind of mindfulness, the feeling of feeling, the feeling of pleasure, which the holy people call the discharge of meditation, stay and stay meditation third ... Rate-parade discharge suffering suffering, kill happy feeling before, The fourth meditation and stay, not suffering not lost, discharge the concept of pure. In the meantime, if he does not think of self-harm, he does not think of harming people, neither thinks of harm, while he feels a harmless feeling. O bhikkhus, that harmless supreme, I say is the sweetness of feeling.

And this, monks, is the danger of the sensations? O bhikkhus, the sensations are impermanent, suffering, disturbed, so is the danger of feeling.

And this, monks, is the transmission of the sensations? Monks, the appetite is engaged with the sensation, the renunciation of lust, so called the output of feelings.

Monks, brahmanas, brahmanas do not like the sweet wisdom sweet taste of feeling is so sweet, the danger is such a danger, the glass is the glass Thus, these persons will certainly not be as knowledgeable as their senses, nor can they place others in a similar position, ie, as the knowledge of such feelings or events. happening. The monks, the Sa-subject, Brahman-like intellectual property sweet sweet feeling is so sweet, the danger is such a danger, the glass is the glass These persons, as they are, are able to put others in a similar position, ie, as the knowledge of the senses, such events occur.
