Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 31.8.18

31.8.18

「我復以天眼清淨無瑕穢，觀眾生類生者、終者，善趣、善色，惡趣、惡色，若好、若醜，隨其行本，皆悉知之。或有眾生身修惡行，口修惡行，意修惡行，誹謗賢聖，造邪業本，與邪見相應，身壞命終，生地獄中。或有眾生之類，身、口、意行善，不誹謗賢聖，與正見相應，身壞命終，生於人間，是謂此眾生身、口、意行無有邪業。我以三昧之心清淨無瑕穢，有漏盡，成無漏心解脫、智慧解脫；生死已盡，梵行已立，所作已辦，更不復受胎，如實知之。即成無上正真之道。

“Again, I observed the kinds of births and ends of sentient beings with the heavenly eye that’s pure and flawless, including their good destinations and forms and their bad destinations and forms. Whether they were beautiful or ugly, the origin of it was their actions. I fully knew them. Perhaps, again, the physical, verbal, and mental actions of a sentient being were bad. They slandered the noble ones and performed actions of wrong view. When their bodies broke up and their lives ended, they were born in hell. Sometimes, again, the physical, verbal, and mental actions of a sentient being were good. They didn’t slander the noble ones and also practiced right view. When their bodies broke up and their lives ended, they were born in a good place up in heaven. This is known as the physical, verbal, and mental actions of sentient beings that lack any wrong acts.

“With a concentrated mind that was pure and flawless, I ended the contaminants. Becoming uncontaminated, my mind was liberated, and my wisdom was liberated. My births had been ended, the religious practice had been established, and the task had been accomplished. I was no longer subject to the womb, and I truly knew it. I then achieved the unsurpassed, correct, and true awakening.
