9. Potthapada (Potthapada 
da sutta)

---

1.  N I miss this. At the time of the Blessed One was at Sàvatthi (Sàvatthi), the Jetavana Forest (Para), Anàthapindika Garden (Anathapindika). At that time, the pagan Potthapada (her long-time grandmother) together with the masses of three hundred pagans, in the garden of Queen Mallika (Mahayana) named Ekasàlaka in stock The Tinduka Tree, a colloquium discusses right understanding and wrong view.

2. At the time of the Blessed One, in the morning, he covered the bowl with alms bowls in Sàvatthi.Then the Blessed One thought: "It is too early to go begging at Sàvatthi, let's go to the garden of Queen Mallika named Ekaslak, with the fence of tinduka trees, a conference hall discussion of right view, wrong view. Meet the Potthapada dharma. " And the Blessed One went to the garden of Queen Mallika, named Ekasàlaka, who had a tinduka fence, a seminar on right view and wrong view.

3. At that time the pagan Potthapàda sitting with the masses of pagans, are loud, laughter, loudly discuss the problems of frivolous as the story of the king; the story of robbery, the story of the deity;the story of soldiers; stories of horror; story of war; story of food; the story of the drink; story of clothing; bed story; the story of the wreath; the story of aromas; story about relatives; vehicle story;village story; the story of the town; the story of the city; the story of the nation; story of women; the story of men; the story of the hero; roadside story; story at the place to get water; the story of the dead;jokes; the story of the state of the world, the state of the ocean;

4. Blessed Venerable Potthapàda saw the Blessed One from afar, advising them: "The worshipers should be quiet, the gods should not make noise. This virtue prays quietness, if you know this quiet, He can come here. Hearing this, the foreigners went silent.

5. Then the Blessed One went to the Potthapada pagoda. And the pagan Potthapada Dharma World: "Honor the Blessed One Honor the Exalted Lord, it is not too long ago, The Sun is not too far here, please pray the Sun. This is the seat prepared."

The Sun sat on the place prepared. Potthapada, another foreign minister, took another low chair and sat down. Then the Blessed One said to Potthapada, "Sit here, what are you discussing? What are you talking about that is interrupted?"

6. When he heard that sojourn Foreign Minister Potthapàda World:

- Lord, leave one side of the story we are sitting discussing, the Blessed One, then again, the Sun is not difficult. Lord of the Sun, many ancient Sa-subject, Ba-la-foreign friends gathered, sitting in the lecture hall raised the question of the cessation of the superior.

"How are you, the higher the idea of ​​killing?" Some responded: "No human, no charm, the idea of ​​human birth and death! When the idea of ​​human beings have thought, when the idea of ​​killing people do not think." Thus, some of them explain the cessation of the magnificence.

In this regard, others say the following: "The worshipers, the events are not the same.Christian, think of the self of man, that idea comes and goes. I think, when you think it is, then people do not think. So some of them explain the cessation of the magnificence.

In this matter, others say the following: "The worshipers, the event is not the same.He Son, there are Sa-subjects, brahmins have great powers and great power. This thought entered into the person and also pull the idea out of him. When these people think to enter into the person, he thought, when pulling thought out, he did not think. So some of them explain the cessation of the magnificence.

On this issue, other people say the following: "The worshipers, the event is not like this. into the person and pull the idea out of him. When these people put thought into the person, he thought, when pulling thought out, he did not think. So some of them explain the cessation of the magnificence. The Blessed One, at that time, I commemorated the Blessed One: "May the Blessed One be here, Hope of the Hereafter, He is very skilled in these things. ideal ". Lord, how are the cessation of the superstitious like?

7. This Potthapada, the Sa-subject, Brahman said: "No human, no charm, the idea of ​​human birth and death." These have been misleading from the beginning. Why? Potthapada, because of the cause, the charm, the idea of ​​human birth and death. It is due to study, a kind of thought, is due to learning, a kind of idea.

And the Buddha said:

- What is the learning? This Potthapada, now in the Tathagata appear, is the A-la-dan, Chief of the Transfiguration ... (like  business Sa-fruit , paragraph number 40-43 except the end of each paragraph) pure life, pure life, full virtue, maintenance of the base, mindfulness of awareness and knowledge. This is Potthapada, how is the rate-pedophilia full suit? Here, Potthapada, rate-pretentious abstention from killing, avoid the killing, the staff, the sword, the noble, the compassion, living merciful happiness of all beings and sentient beings. Such is his virtue in the precepts ... (like  Sa-fruit results, chapters 43-62) ... like using magic to calm, to avoid the promised ... prevent the effectiveness of drugs. And he is away from the evil of the above ... so his virtue in the precepts.

8. This Potthapada, and as such Bhikkhu due to full commandment should not be afraid from any place in the direction of the precepts. This Potthapada, like a slaughter-empowerment, has surrendered to the enemy, no more fear from any hostile side. Likewise, this Potthapada, rate-monks thanks to full commandment should not be afraid from a place in terms of the precepts. He is full of this noble precept, should enjoy the inner peace not guilty. Thus, this Potthapada, Bhikkhu full of precepts.

9. This Potthapada, what is the rate of bhikkhu-maintenance? When Potthapada, when eyes see sharp, rate-monk does not hold general general, do not hold his own general. What causes, because the eye is not tamed, makes craving superiority, the evil, the evil arise, lordly self-control that cause, guard the eye, practice eye maintenance . When the headphones smell ... the tongue tastes ... tongue taste ... emotion ... awareness of the French, he does not hold general general, do not hold his own general.What causes, because the mind is not tamed, making greed interest, the evil evil law arise, rate-pretending to control the cause, the maintenance of the mind, practice the maintenance of the mind.He, thanks to the noble blessing of that ground, should enjoy life, inner peace not guilty. Thus, this Potthapada, rate-pretentious maintenance of the base ... (like  Sa-results, verses 65-74) ...

10. When the body itself has ripped off the slipper, he was happy; by joy, so happy; by the joy of joy, the body is despised; due to body contempt, the birth of life; by the calm, the mind is static. Monks, education, education, the glass of evil, evidence and meditation first, a state of bliss by the separation of education, with four. Its former thought is eradicated, and when it is thought to be blissful and true, the divine being arises, it is thought to be blissful and true. So by study, a thought arises, also by study, an idea of ​​eradication. And the Blessed One said, "That is the study of the Blessed One."

11. Again, this Potthapada, rate-kill khat, quit the fourth, evidence and meditation Monday, a state of ecstasy due to birth, not the four, internal static. Thought of the magical joy of his past sexual prank was eradicated. And when the thought of blissful moment of birth due to birth, he is thought to be happy magic real born by birth. So by study, a thought arises, also by studying a thought of eradication. And the Blessed One said, "That is the study of the Blessed One."

12. "Again, this Potthapada, rate-happy glasses, mindfulness of mindfulness, the feeling of pleasure that the holy people called" discharge of meditation ", evidence and meditation Tuesday. It is because of the ancient birth of his being eradicated, and when he thought of the miraculous arising of the true origin, he thought of the pure virtue. Studying, an eradication idea, and the Blessed One said, "That is the study of the Blessed One."

13. Again, this Potthapàda, rate-pretentious discharge, discharge suffering, kill Hypnotic, good feeling before, test and fourth meditation not suffering, not discharge the net bar. Thus, his former virtuous deeds were eradicated. And when you think of the loss, the suffering of the magic that arise, he has the idea of ​​relieving, suffering the magic real. So by studying a thought, also by studying an idea of ​​extermination. And the Blessed One said, "That is the study of the Blessed One."

14. Again, this Potthapàda, with the escape of every imagination, with the elimination of all obstacles, with the non-intention to the ideal, rate-thinking: "Nothing is boundless, Non-boundless land. Thus his old color was eradicated. And when the idea of ​​not boundless magic originated, he thought it was not boundless real wonders. Thus due to study, an idea arises, also by learning an idea of ​​eradication. And the Blessed One said, "That is the study of the Blessed One."

15. Again, this Potthapàda, with the escape of all Non-boundless territory, rate-thinking: "Consciousness is boundless, proof and stay Consciousness boundless. As such, the idea of ​​the infinite origin of his ancient realm was eradicated, and when he thought of the boundless virtue of his real origin, he thought of the boundless virtue of the real miracle. So by study, a thought arises, also by study, an idea of ​​eradication. And the Blessed One said, "That is the study of the Blessed One."

16. Again, this Potthapàda, with the transcendent of all boundless consciousness, rate-thinking that "there is nothing" to prove and stay ancestral land. So thought of the boundless wisdom of the land of his ancient leg was eradicated. And when the idea of ​​possessing the wonderful land of origin arises, he has the idea of ​​possessing the land of true wonders. So by study, a thought arises, also by study, an idea of ​​eradication. And the Blessed One said, "That is the study of the Blessed One."

17. Again, this Potthapàda, when bhikkhu here begins to think, he continues from thought to thought to the utmost. And when he stands at the top of his mind, he can think: "Mind is thought to be harmful to us, the mind does not think well for us. If we continue to think, when these thoughts are gone, Another thought arises, let's not think. Without thinking, the other thoughts disappear and the other do not arise, he feels the cessation. Thus, this Potthapada, is the attainment of the wisdom that gradually suppresses the upright.

18. Potthapada, what do you think? Have you ever heard the wisdom of eradicating these supernormal powers?

- Lord, I have not heard. Lord, I understand the words of the Buddha.

- Potthapada, when the monk here on his own initiative, he continues from one thought to another thought to the peak. And this, when standing at the thought of the peak can think: "Mind thought, harm to us, mind is not thinking good for us. If we continue to think when these thoughts are gone, The other coals arise. So let's not think. " And he has no thought. Without thought, the other thoughts of the cessation and the other do not arise. He senses the cessation. Thus Potthapada is the attainment of wisdom that gradually suppresses the upright.

- That's right, this Potthapàda!

19. - The Blessed One, the Blessed One just say a great idea or great idea?

- Potthapada, I speak of a great idea and also talk about the great idea.

- How the Blessed One said a great idea and also talked about the great idea?

- This Potthapada, according to him, senses the cessation (of one idea) after another, he attains many more apocalyptic paradoxes, one after the other to the last summit that I say many thoughts. awesome.This is Potthapàda so I speak of a great idea and also talk about the great idea.

20. - The Buddha, first thought, start later; or initial thought before thought; Think and start the same time not before?

- This Potthapada, thought before the new start, due to the idea of ​​birth, new birth. He is knowledge of tri: "By the idea, the place where my mind." Hey, Potthapada, with this teaching need to understand the idea before birth, thinking new birth.

21. - The Lord, what is the self of self or other, other self?

- Potthapada, you understand the self?

- White Lord, I understand the self is rough, sharp, by the four great, and fed by the delegation.

- Potthapada, if the ego is rudimentary, sharp, formed by four great figures and fed by the troupe, thus Potthapada, another thought and self. This Potthapada, with this knowledge, needs to understand, think differently, and self. This Potthapada, assuming the self is rough, sharp, formed by four great figures and fed by the troupe, yet some of his other ideas arise, some of them fall apart. This is Potthapada, with this realization needs another understanding, another self.

22. - The Lord, I understand the self is due to the idea, full of every detail, small and full of grounds.

- This Potthapada, if the self is due to the essence, full of all the great details, full of the bases, so Potthapada, with this awareness, need to understand the other, the other self. This Potthapada, assuming the self is due to the essence, full of all the great details, full of basics, however, some of his other ideas arise, some other ideas fall down. This Potthapada, with this realization, needs another understanding, another self.

- Lord, I understand the self is colorless, think of the city.

23. - Potthapada, if the self is immaterial, by virtue of thought, with this realization Potthapada, one must understand another, another self. This is Potthapada, assuming the self is immaterial, due to the idea, however, some of the other ideas arise, some other idea died down. This Potthapada, with this realization, needs another understanding, another self.

24. - Lord, can you understand the "thought of human self" or "other ideas, other self"?

- This is Potthapada, it is difficult for you to know "think of the self of self" or "other idea, self other", because you have prejudices, beliefs, ideals, have other vows.

25. - Lord, if it is difficult for you to know "the idea of ​​human self," or "another idea, self other" because other prejudices, beliefs, ideals, Have other genius, there are other virtues, the world time, the world is not? Only this concept is true, in addition to ignorance?

- Potthapada, I do not reply: "The world is permanent, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance."

- Lord, is the world is impermanent, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- Potthapada, I do not reply: "The world is impermanent, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance."

- The world, is this world is real, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- Potthapada, I do not reply: "The world is righteous, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance."

- Lord, is the world is boundless, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- Potthapada, I do not reply: "The world is boundless, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance."

26. - The Blessed One, is the life and the body is one, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- Potthapada, I do not answer: "Body and life are one, only this view is true, in addition to ignorance."

- Lord, do other lives, other body? Only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- Potthapada, I do not answer: "Other life, other body. Only this view is true, in addition to confusion."

27. - White Lord, do Tathagas exist after death? Only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- This Potthapada, I do not answer: "Tathagata exists after death. Only this view is true, in addition to confusion."

- Oh, do not the Tathagata exist after death? Only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- This Potthapada, I do not answer: "Tathagata does not exist after death. Only this view is true, in addition to ignorance."

- Lord, the Tathagata exists and does not exist after death. Only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- This Potthapada, I do not reply: "Tathagata exists and does not exist after death. Only this view is true, in addition to confusion."

- Lord, the Tathagata does not exist and does not exist after death. Only this view is true, in addition to ignorance?

- This Potthapada, I do not reply: "Tathagata does not exist and does not exist after death. Only this view is true, in addition to ignorance."

28. - The Blessed One, why do not the Blessed One answer?

- This Potthapada, this question does not belong to the goal of liberation, not belonging to the Dharma, not the basis of virtue, not to take cover, to glasses, to the presidency, to the presidency, to victory, to Enlightenment, to Nirvana. So, I do not answer.

29. - The Blessed One, so the Sun replied what?

- Potthapada, I replied: "This is suffering." I replied: "This is suffering." "I say," This is suffering. "I replied," This is the path leading to suffering. "

30. - The Blessed One, why the Blessed One answered?

- This Potthapada, this question belongs to the goal of liberation, belongs to the Dharma, the basis of virtue, to the glass, to the glass of greed, to the death, to victory, to enlightenment, to Nirvana. So I answered.

- The Lord, that is right. White Angel, so is right. Lord, what time did you see Him doing?

And from the seat stood up out.

31. The Exalted One has not yet arrived, the heathen strangled around the Potthapada marshal and poured out his sarcastic comments: "This Potthapada is what Gotama Gotama Potthapada praised: "Well, that is right. "We do not know that Gotama has explicitly addressed the following issues:" The world is permanent, "or" The world is impermanent, "or" The world is impermanent. " is ", or" the world is boundless ", or" life is one body ", or" another life, another body, "or" the Tathagata exists after death "or" Lai does not exist after death "or" Tathagata exists and does not exist after death ", or"

When it was said, the pagan Potthapada said to the pagans:

"Do not you know," said Monk Gotama, "that the world is permanent," or "the world is impermanent," or "the world is perpetuated. "or" The world is boundless, "or" Life and the body are one ", or" Other life, another body, "or" Tathagata exists after death, "or" exists after death, "or" Tathagata exists and does not exist after death, "or" Tathagata does not exist and does not exist after death. " Gotama declared a method as real, true, true, using the Fa as the basis, using the French as a rule. And when one declares a method as real, true, true, using the Fa as the basis,

32. Two or three days later, Citta Hatthisàriputta and the Potthapada dharma go to the Blessed One.Upon arriving at the place, Citta Hatthisriputta bowed to the Blessed One and sat down on one side, while the Potthapada dharma, said greetings to the Honored One and sat down. After sitting on one side, the wanderer Potthapada Dharma Blessed:

The Tathagata does not exist and does not exist after death. "When I was told that, I said to the foreigners," Do not you know that Monotheism Gotama? "The world is ordinary," or "The world is impermanent," or "The world is a pensioner," or "The world is boundless," or "The life and the body are one, "or" other life, another body "or" Tathagata exists after death, "or" Tathagata does not exist after death ", or" Tathagata exists or exists. after death ", or" Tathagata does not exist nor does not exist after death ". Gotama declared a method as real, true, true, using the Fa as the basis, using the French as a rule.

33. - Potthapada, these foreigners are blind, without eyes, only you have the unique eye among them.This is Potthapada, there is the law is legendary, presented unequivocally. This is Potthapada, there are the laws that we proclaimed explicitly. What are the theories that we proclaim in a non-explicit way?"The world is permanent," said Potthapada, that is the law we declare unreservedly. "The world is impermanent," says Potthapada, that is the way that we proclaim unambiguously. "The world is perpendicular", this Potthapada ... "The world is boundless," said Potthapada ... "Life and body are one," said Potthapada ... "Another life, another body" , this Potthapada ... "

Hey, why are these laws declared by me inseparably? This Potthapada, these do not belong to the goal of liberation, not belong to the legal, not the basis of virtue, not to take cover, to the glass of greed, to the presidency, to the net, to victory, to the sense enlightenment, to Nirvana. Therefore, these things are declared by Me, presented unequivocally. What are the theories that we proclaim decisively? "This is suffering," said Potthapada, that is the law that we proclaimed decisively. "This is suffering," said Potthapada, that is the law presented to us explicitly. "This is suffering," said Potthapada, that is the law declared by Me decisively. "This is the path leading to suffering,"

"Why are these things declared by Me explicitly? This potthapada, which is the goal of liberation, belonging to the Dharma, to the base of virtue, to the cover, to the glass, to the presidency, to the net, to victory, to enlightenment, to Nirvana, table. Therefore, these doctrines are declared by me decisively.

34. This Potthapada, there are some Sa-subjects, brahmins have advocated like this, have such a viewpoint: "After death, self is completely happy, disease-free." I came to them and asked: "Do you have this kind of ethics, like this:" After death, self is completely happy, not sick. "When asked by Ta as They say, "Do the Deities live and know that the world is completely happy?" When asked, they said no. With these people: "Do the virtuous ones feel completely happy in one night or one day, or in the middle of the night or in half a day?" When asked, they answered No, I say to them: "Do the virtues know a path,

I say to them: "The virtuous ones have heard the voice of the gods, they have been born into a perfectly happy world." You, try to practice smartly. Please realize a world completely happy. Hey, you guys, have we practiced, have you been born into a completely happy world? "When asked why they did not answer, Potthapada, what do you think? When are the words of these Sa-subjects, Brahmins are not exactly reasonable?

35. As someone said: "I love and love a beautiful girl in this country." Someone asked, "Friend, beautiful girl he loved and love it, do you know what class, assassin, or Ba-la-subjects, or Phasa-a, "When asked, he did not know. Someone asked, "Nice girl, sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart, do you know what the name is, big, low or middle name? Dark skin, dark skin or pink skin? or any city? "When asked, he did not know. Someone asked, "Friend, do you love and love a man? Do not you know, do not you see?" Asked that he answered yes. Hey Potthapada, what do you think? The fact is, is it time for the other person's words to be inaccurate?

- Yes, the Blessed One! The fact is, the speech of the other person is not accurate, reasonable.

36. - Thus Potthapada, the Sa-ard, Ba-la-subjects have such a policy, have such a viewer: "After death self perfectly happy, ill," I go to the He asked, "Are you in favor of this kind of ethics, having this kind of insight:" After death, the self is completely happy, ill. "When asked, they I say, "Do virtuous beings live and know, have they seen this world completely happy?" When asked, they said no, I told them "Do the Deities realize themselves perfectly well in one night or one day, or in the middle of the night or in half a day?" When asked, they said no. with them: "The virtue knows any way, What is the method that leads to the realization of a completely happy world? "When asked, did they say no? I said to them:" Deities have heard the voice of the gods. was born into a perfectly happy world: 'You, try to be smart! Behold, a world full of happiness! Are you practicing, have you been born into a perfectly happy world? "When asked, they said no," Potthapada, what do you think? " , when the words of the Sa-subject, Brahman is not accurate, reasonable? 'Hey, try to be smart! Behold, a world full of happiness! Are you practicing, have you been born into a perfectly happy world? "When asked, they said no," Potthapada, what do you think? " , when the words of the Sa-subject, Brahman is not accurate, reasonable? 'Hey, try to be smart! Behold, a world full of happiness! Are you practicing, have you been born into a perfectly happy world? "When asked, they said no," Potthapada, what do you think? " , when the words of the Sa-subject, Brahman is not accurate, reasonable?

- Yes, the Blessed One is so, in the words of the other is not accurate, reasonable.

37. - Potthapada, as one would like to build a ladder at a crossroads to climb up the stairs. Someone asked, "Friend, you want to build a ladder to climb up the stairs, do you know that it is east, or west, or north, or south? low, or average? " Asked, he did not know. Someone asked, "Are you, are you, have you built a ladder to climb up a floor that you do not know, do not see?" Asked, he answered yes. Hey Potthapada, what do you think? The fact is that the time when the words of the other person is not accurate, reasonable?

- Yes, the Blessed One! The fact is, the speech of the other person is not accurate, reasonable.

38. - So this Potthapada, the Sa-content, brahmins have advocated like this, have such a viewer: "After death, self is completely happy, ill-sick." I came to these people and asked: "Are you the virtue advocated like this, have this kind of opinion:" After death, self is completely happy, not sick. "When asked, these He said: "The virtuous ones who have lived and known, have seen this world completely happy?" When asked this, they said no, I say to the He said: "Do virtuous people know a way, a method that can lead to the realization of a completely happy world?" When asked this, they said no, I say. With these people: "So the virtuous ones are completely happy in one night or in one day, Is it in the middle of the night or in half a day? "When they were asked, they said no, I said to them:" The Deities have heard the voice of the gods was born into a complete world. happy: 'Hey guys, try to practice! Behold, a world full of happiness. Are you practicing, have you been born into a completely happy world? "When they were said, they said no," Potthapada, what do you think? " So, when the words of Sa-subjects, Brahman, the other is not accurate, reasonable. try to practice! Behold, a world full of happiness. Are you practicing, have you been born into a completely happy world? "When they were said, they said no," Potthapada, what do you think? " So, when the words of Sa-subjects, Brahman, the other is not accurate, reasonable. try to practice! Behold, a world full of happiness. Are you practicing, have you been born into a completely happy world? "When they were said, they said no," Potthapada, what do you think? " So, when the words of Sa-subjects, Brahman, the other is not accurate, reasonable.

- Yes, the Blessed One! The fact is, the speech of the other person is not justified, reasonable.

39. - Potthapàda, there are three types of self-attachment: coarse ego, ego ego, ego. Hey Potthapada, what is the rough ego? There are sharp, by the four formed, by the fed team is roughly egoistic. How do you intend to fall? Sharp, due to the idea, full details are large, full of grounds, is intended to fall into the ego. What is the impersonal self? There is no identity, because the idea of ​​the city is not.

40. This Potthapada, I sermon to rid the rough rough. If the practitioners of this method are eradicated, the law is growing, and right now, self-enlightenment, with victory, attainment and intellectual well-being, generous. May Potthapada, it is very likely that you think: "The dhamma will eradicate, the law will grow, and right now self-enlightenment, with victory, attainment and intellectual well-being. , yet suffering still exists. " Hey Potthapada, do not think so. When the law is eradicated, the law is growing, right now self-enlightenment, with victory, attainment and intellectual well-being, generous, joyful birth, joy, contempt, mindfulness, awareness, and place of birth.

41. This Potthapada, I also preach to eradicate the intention into ego. If the practitioners of this method are eradicated, the law is grown, and right now, self-enlightenment and intellectual abundance abundant wisdom. Potthapada, it is possible that you think, "The dhammas will eradicate, the paths will grow, and the present will be enlightened itself, with the victory of attainment and the restoration of generous wisdom. The suffering still exists. " Hey Potthapada, do not think so. When the law is eradicated, the law is growing, when the present self-enlightenment, with the victory and attainment of intellectual prosperity, joyful birth, joy, contempt, mindfulness awareness is the birthplace of birth.

42. This Potthapada, I sermon also to eradicate hardships. If you practice this method, the time of contradiction is eliminated, the law is growing, and right now self-enlightenment, with the victory of attainment and the wisdom of abundant wisdom. This is Potthapada, it is possible that you think, "The dhammas will eradicate, the paths will grow, the present will be enlightened itself, with the victory of attainment and the abundant wisdom, The suffering still exists. " Hey Potthapada, do not think so.When the law is eradicated, the law is growing, right now in self-enlightenment, with the victory of attainment and the wisdom of generosity, joy of birth, joy, mindfulness, awareness and birthplace.

43. This Potthapada, there are people outside of us asking: "Hey sage, coarse ego is what sage that sermon sermon to eradicate, make people practice under this method of infection is eradicated net Dhamma is growing, and right now enlightenment itself, with the victory of attainment and the wisdom of abundant wisdom? "

When asked by them, we replied, "Sage, it is rough, it is we are sermon to eradicate, to make people practice this law, the time of infection is eradicated, the law is growth and right now self-enlightenment, with victory over attainment and intellectual well-being.

44. This Potthapada, there are those who ask outside: "Sage, the idea of ​​self that is what Sage told the sermon to eradicate, the practice of this method is eradicated in the net The Dharma is growing, and right now it is enlightened itself, with wisdom and wisdom, and with wisdom and wisdom.

When asked, we replied: "Sage, it is the intention to fall that we lecture to eliminate, so that people who practice this law in the time of infection is eradicated, the law is growing and right now, self-enlightenment with victory won the intellectual and intellectual prosperity generous. "

45. This Potthapada, there are people outside of us asked: "Hey Sage, no matter what it is that the Sage lecture to eliminate, making people practice this method of the French law is eradicated The law is growing and right now, self-enlightenment with the victory of attainment and the wisdom of generous wisdom. " When asked, we replied: "Sage, it is not the same color, we lecture to eradicate, so that people practice this law in the course of infection is eradicated, the method is growing and right now, self-enlightenment with victory won the intellectual and intellectual prosperity generous. "

Hey Potthapada, what do you think? The fact is, when the words are accurate, reasonable?

46. ​​Potthapàda, like a builder of a ladder to climb upstairs, from below that floor. He was asked, "Friend, he built the ladder to climb up the stairs, the stairs to the east or south, or west or north. He replied, "The sage, the floor I build up to climb at this footstep." Potthapada, what do you think? The fact is that when the words are correct reasonable?

- Yes, the Blessed One, the fact is, the words of the other is accurate, reasonable!

47. - Thus, this Potthapàda, and there are people outside to ask us: "Hey sage, coarse ego is what? ... What is the sage, what is the ego? What is the Sanskrit sermon that is the way that the sermon to eradicate, the people who practice this law in the course of the law is eradicated, the law is growing and right now, self-enlightenment with victory Confidence and wisdom abiding generous generosity? "When asked, we replied: "Sage, it is not that it is that we lecture to eradicate, to make people practice this law when the French are eradicated, the law is growing and right now, self-enlightenment with victory won the intellectual and intellectual prosperity generous. "

- Potthapada, what do you think? The fact is, when the words are accurate, reasonable?

- Yes, the Blessed One, the fact is, the words of the other is accurate, reasonable!

48. Upon hearing that, Citta Hatthisriputta the Blessed One:

- While the Sun, while there are rough consolation, not the intention to fall into the ego, there is no greedy self? Rigid ego if it exists. Lord, while the ego, there is no coarse ego, there is no greedy self?Verbatim into self when it exists. While the Sun, while there is no sharp self, there is no coarse ego, do not intend to ego? Unspeakable self when it exists.

49. - Citta, while having a rough, selfish ego, is not meant to be selfish, not attached to selflessness.Citta, while meant to fall into self, is selfishness, not selfishness. Citta, while there is no form of self, is not coarse ego, not intended to fall into the ego, it is in the form of fallow. Hey Citta, if somebody asks you, "Did you exist in the past or not? Will you live in the future or do you exist in the present?" Hey, Citta, how are you responding?

"If you ask someone," You have existed in the past, will you live in the future, or do you exist in the present? " The Buddha asked, "I have existed in the past, not not exist, I will survive in the future, not not exist, I exist in the present, no. must not exist ". Lord, if so asked, I will answer that.

50. - Citta, if someone asks you: "Past ego that you have, is that self for you is true, ego for the future does not exist, ego current does not exist. The future of self that you will have, that self it is for you is true, ego the past does not exist, ego current does not exist? Is it true that you do not exist, to fall for the past does not exist, ego future does not exist? " Hey, Citta, are you asking, How are you answering?

- Lord, if someone asked you: "Past self you have had, it is selfish for you is true, ego the future does not exist, ego current does not exist? The future of self that you will have, the self that you are true, ego the past does not exist, ego current does not exist? For you are true, ego the past does not exist, ego the future does not exist? " If asked, I would answer: "Past ego that I have, it is for me is true, ego the future does not exist, ego current does not exist. The future of self that I will have, it is self to me is true, the ego of the past does not exist, the ego does not exist now the ego that I have,

51. - Thus this Citta, while having a bit of egoism, does not belong to the ego, is not attached to the ego, it is the ego. Citta, while meant to fall into a self-interest, is not self-absorbed at the ego, it is in the sense of self-ego. Citta, while there is no greed self, the ego does not fall under the ego, not the intention to fall into self, it is in the form of self fall.

52. Citta, for example, from a cow that gave birth to milk, from birth to milk, from birth to birth, from birth to birth, from birth to birth. When milk is not milk, not belonging to the bowl, not belong to the bowl, not belong to the lake, it is the milk; When she was born ... when she was born ... when she became a master ... when the subject of the lake is not a milk, not a peanut, not belong to the bowl, not belong to the main bowl, then the title lake.

53. So this Citta, while having a crass ego ... Citta, while intending to be selfish ... Citta, while there is no self, , do not belong to the ego, then it falls under the form of self. Hey Citta, they are just worldly names, world languages, worldly names, worldly notations. Tathagata used them but did not accept them.

54. It is said that the pagan master Potthapàda the World:

- It is so wonderful, the Blessed One! Really, White World! As he who rebuilds what is thrown down, reveals what is hidden, guides the disoriented, brings light into the darkness so that those who have eyes can see the color. The same Dhamma was used by the Exalted means of explanation. Lord, I seek refuge in the Sun, take refuge in the Dharma and refrain from them. I want you to be a disciple, from now on to the general network, the lifetime of the threshold.

55. And Citta Hatthisriputta the Buddha:

- It is so wonderful, the Blessed One! Really, White World! As a person who sets up what is thrown down, reveals what is hidden, shows the way to those who go astray, brings the light in the dark so that those who have eyes can see the color. Also, the Dhamma was used by the Blessed One to explain. I seek refuge in the Sun, take refuge in France and take refuge. I wish you well to be with the Blessed One, hope for the Buddha.

56. Citta Hatthisàriputta is ordained with the Blessed One and is ordained. Venerable soon enough, Venerable Citta Hatthisriputta alone, calm, not loose, warm hearted, industrious. And soon, he attests to the supreme goal that the descendants of the wage earners have left the family, living without direction. It is immeasurable in the present, self with the victory of enlightenment, attainment and residing: birth was committed, the virtues have been made, what should be done after this life will have no other life anymore . Virtue Citta Hatthisriputta knows so.

And Venerable Citta Hatthisriputta became an Arahant. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.26/11/2018.
