12. Brahmayācanakathā
3.1.1
Atha kho, bhikkhave, vipassissa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa etadahosi:
Then it occurred to the Blessed One Vipassī, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha,
3.1.2
‘yannūnāhaṃ dhammaṃ deseyyan’ti.
‘Why don’t I teach the Dhamma?’
3.1.3
Atha kho, bhikkhave, vipassissa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa etadahosi:
Then he thought,
3.1.4
‘adhigato kho myāyaṃ dhammo gambhīro duddaso duranubodho santo paṇīto atakkāvacaro nipuṇo paṇḍitavedanīyo.
‘This principle I have discovered is deep, hard to see, hard to understand, peaceful, sublime, beyond the scope of logic, subtle, comprehensible to the astute.
3.1.5
Ālayarāmā kho panāyaṃ pajā ālayaratā ālayasammuditā.
But people like clinging, they love it and enjoy it.
3.1.6
Ālayarāmāya kho pana pajāya ālayaratāya ālayasammuditāya duddasaṃ idaṃ ṭhānaṃ yadidaṃ idappaccayatāpaṭiccasamuppādo.
It’s hard for them to see this topic; that is, specific conditionality, dependent origination.
3.1.7
Idampi kho ṭhānaṃ duddasaṃ yadidaṃ sabbasaṅkhārasamatho sabbūpadhipaṭinissaggo taṇhākkhayo virāgo nirodho nibbānaṃ.
It’s also hard for them to see this topic; that is, the stilling of all activities, the letting go of all attachments, the ending of craving, fading away, cessation, extinguishment.
3.1.8
Ahañceva kho pana dhammaṃ deseyyaṃ, pare ca me na ājāneyyuṃ; so mamassa kilamatho, sā mamassa vihesā’ti.
And if I were to teach this principle, others might not understand me, which would be wearying and troublesome for me.’
