234.8

「非是遊步者,能到世界邊,
不到世界邊,不能免眾苦,
是故牟尼尊,名知世間者,
能到世界邊,諸梵行已立,
世界邊唯有,正智能諦了,
覺慧達世間,故說度彼岸。

“It’s not by traveling on foot
That the end of the world is reached;
Not reaching the end of the world,
Myriad pains can’t be escaped.

Charles Patton, The Connected Discourses (selected sūtras)

Therefore, the honored sage
Is called ‘Knower of the World;’
Able to reach the end of the world,
He established the religious practice.

Charles Patton, The Connected Discourses (selected sūtras)

The end of the world is only something
Truly understood with right knowledge;
Awakened wisdom penetrates the world,
Which is called ‘crossing to the other side.’

Charles Patton, The Connected Discourses (selected sūtras)
