Once the Blessed One was among the Vajji tribes at Ukkacela, on the banks of the Ganges. Here the Blessed One called the bhikkhus: — Hey, bhikkhus. — Yes, venerable sir. Those bhikkhus obeyed the Blessed One. The Blessed One preached as follows: - Once upon a time, monks, in Magadha, there was a cowherd without a mind, who, at the end of the rainy season, during the harvest season, did not observe this side of the Ganges, did not observe the other bank of the Ganges, chasing the herd. crawled across to the other bank at Suvideha, where it was impassable. Monks, oxen flocked together in the middle of the Ganges River and had an accident here. Why? Monks, since the cowherd in Magadha is ignorant, at the end of the rainy season, during the harvest season, he does not observe this side of the Ganges, does not observe the other bank of the Ganges, and drives his oxen across the bank. the other side at Suvideha, where it was impassable. In the same way, bhikkhus, there are recluses or brahmins who are not well versed in this world, who are not well versed in the world to come, who are not well versed in the demon world, who are not well versed in the non-demeaning realm, who are not well versed in death. The world, not knowing the non-death world well, those who think that they need to hear and believe these people, they will have long-term misfortune and suffering. Once, monks, there was a wise cowherd in Magadha, at the end of the rainy season, during the harvest season, after contemplating on this side of the Ganges, after contemplating on the other bank of the Ganges, chased after him. The herd crossed to the other side at Suvideha, where it was possible to wade across. He drives away the heads of the old bulls, the leaders of the herd. These animals, after wading across the Ganges River, safely cross to the other side. Then he brought over strong bulls, trained bulls. These animals, after wading across the Ganges River, safely cross to the other side. Then he chased past the young bulls, big, young cows, big. These animals, after wading across the Ganges River, safely cross to the other side. Then he chased over the young calves, the calves still suckling. These animals, after wading across the Ganges, safely across to the other side. In those days, monks, there was a young ox that was born, which, by running after its mother, ran and squealed. After crossing the Ganges River, it also safely crossed to the other side. . Why? Monks, since the cowherd of Magadha is a wise man, at the end of the rainy season, during the harvest season, after contemplating this side of the Ganges, after contemplating the other bank of the Ganges, chase the herd. crawled across to the other bank at Suvideha, where it was possible to wade across. In the same way, bhikkhus, there are contemplatives or brahmins who are well versed in this life, well versed in the future, well versed in the demon world, well versed in the non-demeaning realm, well versed in the death realm. , know the non-death world. Those who think, need to hear, need to believe these people, they will be happy and peaceful for a long time. Monks, like old bulls, the leader of the herd, they waded across the Ganges River and safely crossed to the other side. In the same way, bhikkhus, bhikkhus, being arahants, have abandoned the defilements, have practiced well, have done what should be done, have laid down the burden, have attained it. the goal, the fetters of existence have been completely annihilated, liberated through right knowledge. These, after crossing Mara's river, safely crossed to the other side. It is like, bhikkhus, that strong bulls, trained bulls, after crossing the Ganges, cross safely to the other side. In the same way, bhikkhus, bhikkhus, having abandoned the five lower fetters, are reborn there, enter Nirvana, no longer have to return to this world. They, having crossed the Mara River, will safely cross to the other side. For example, bhikkhus, young bulls, large, young cows, large, these, after crossing the Ganges River, safely crossed to the other side. In the same way, bhikkhus, those bhikkhus who have eradicated the three fetters, have reduced greed, hatred, and delusion, have attained the fruit of the One-returner, having returned to this life again, will have annihilated suffering. They, having crossed the Mara River, will safely cross to the other side. For example, monks, calves, small, nursing calves, these calves, having crossed the Ganges River, safely crossed to the other side. In the same way, bhikkhus, bhikkhus, having abandoned the three fetters, attaining stream-entry, will certainly not fall into the evil paths, attaining right enlightenment. They wade across the Mara River and will safely cross to the other side. For example, bhikkhus, a young calf, just born, this cow, by running after the mother cow, running and screaming, after crossing the Ganges River, crossed the other side by a short distance. safe. In the same way, bhikkhus, bhikkhus, according to their practice, according to their faith, who, after crossing the river of Mara, will safely cross to the other side. Now, bhikkhus, I am well versed in regard to this world, well versed in the world to come, well versed in regard to the demon world, well versed in the non-demagogue realm, well versed in the realm of death, well versed in death world. Those who think that they need to hear, need to believe in Me, they will be happy and peaceful for a long time. Thus the Blessed One preached. After the Master had said this, the Teacher added another verse as follows: In this life and in the next life, the wise are well presented, the realm of ghosts is achieved, the realm of death is not achieved. The Fully Enlightened One, the Wise, Knowing all the worlds, The door of immortality is wide open, Attaining the security of Nirvana.
