- Language
- Pāli
3.21.1
Tamañño evamāha:
But someone else says to them:
3.21.2
‘atthi kho, bho, eso attā, yaṃ tvaṃ vadesi, neso natthīti vadāmi;
‘That self of which you speak does exist, I don’t deny it.
3.21.3
no ca kho, bho, ayaṃ attā ettāvatā paramadiṭṭhadhammanibbānaṃ patto hoti.
But that’s not how this self attains ultimate extinguishment in this life.
3.21.4
Taṃ kissa hetu?
Why is that?
3.21.5
Kāmā hi, bho, aniccā dukkhā vipariṇāmadhammā, tesaṃ vipariṇāmaññathābhāvā uppajjanti sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā.
Because sensual pleasures are impermanent, suffering, and perishable. Their decay and perishing give rise to sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress.
3.21.6
Yato kho, bho, ayaṃ attā vivicceva kāmehi vivicca akusalehi dhammehi savitakkaṃ savicāraṃ vivekajaṃ pītisukhaṃ paṭhamaṃ jhānaṃ upasampajja viharati, ettāvatā kho, bho, ayaṃ attā paramadiṭṭhadhammanibbānaṃ patto hotī’ti.
Quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, this self enters and remains in the first absorption, which has the rapture and bliss born of seclusion, while placing the mind and keeping it connected. That’s how this self attains ultimate extinguishment in this life.’
3.21.7
Ittheke sato sattassa paramadiṭṭhadhammanibbānaṃ paññapenti.
That is how some assert ultimate extinguishment for an existing being in this life.
