With Mahānāma the Sakyan

So I have heard.

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sakkesu viharati kapilavatthusmiṁ nigrodhārāme.

At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Sakyans, near Kapilavatthu in the Banyan Tree Monastery.
6

Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā gilānā vuṭṭhito hoti aciravuṭṭhito gelaññā.

Now at that time the Buddha had recently recovered from an illness.
7

Then Mahānāma the Sakyan went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
8

“दीघरत्ताहं,dī·gha·rat·tā·haṃ भन्ते,bhan·te भगवताbha·ga·va·tā एवंe·vaṃ धम्मंdham·maṃ देसितंde·si·taṃ आजानामि:ā·jā·nā·mi

“dīgharattāhaṁ, bhante, bhagavatā evaṁ dhammaṁ desitaṁ ājānāmi:

“For a long time, sir, I have understood your teaching like this:
9

‘समाहितस्सsa·mā·hi·tas·sa ञाणं,ñā·ṇaṃ नोno असमाहितस्सा’ति।a·sa·mā·hi·tas·sā

‘samāhitassa ñāṇaṁ, no asamāhitassā’ti.

‘Knowledge is for those with immersion, not those without immersion.’
10

समाधिsa·mā·dhi नुnu खो,kho भन्ते,bhan·te पुब्बे,pub·be पच्छाpac·chā ञाणं;ñā·ṇaṃ

Samādhi nu kho, bhante, pubbe, pacchā ñāṇaṁ;

But, sir, does immersion come first, then knowledge?
11

उदाहुu·dā·hu ञाणंñā·ṇaṃ पुब्बे,pub·be पच्छाpac·chā समाधी”ति?sa·mā·dhī

udāhu ñāṇaṁ pubbe, pacchā samādhī”ti?

Or does knowledge come first, then immersion?”
12

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to आनन्दस्सā·nan·das·sa एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

Atha kho āyasmato ānandassa etadahosi:

Then Venerable Ānanda thought,
13

“भगवाbha·ga·vā खोkho गिलानवुट्ठितोgi·lā·na·vuṭ·ṭhi·to अचिरवुट्ठितोa·ci·ra·vuṭ·ṭhi·to गेलञ्ञा।ge·lañ·ñā

“bhagavā kho gilānavuṭṭhito aciravuṭṭhito gelaññā.

“The Buddha has recently recovered from an illness,

Ayañca mahānāmo sakko bhagavantaṁ atigambhīraṁ pañhaṁ pucchati.

and this Mahānāma asks him a question that’s too deep.
15

Yannūnāhaṁ mahānāmaṁ sakkaṁ ekamantaṁ apanetvā dhammaṁ deseyyan”ti.

Why don’t I take him off to one side and teach him the Dhamma?”
16

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do महानामंma·hā·nā·maṃ सक्कंsak·kaṃ बाहायंbā·hā·yaṃ गहेत्वाga·het·vā एकमन्तंe·ka·man·taṃ अपनेत्वाa·pa·net·vā महानामंma·hā·nā·maṃ सक्कंsak·kaṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Atha kho āyasmā ānando mahānāmaṁ sakkaṁ bāhāyaṁ gahetvā ekamantaṁ apanetvā mahānāmaṁ sakkaṁ etadavoca:

Then Ānanda took Mahānāma by the arm, led him off to one side, and said to him,
17

“सेखम्पिse·kham·pi खो,kho महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma सीलंsī·laṃ वुत्तंvut·taṃ भगवता,bha·ga·va·tā असेखम्पिa·se·kham·pi सीलंsī·laṃ वुत्तंvut·taṃ भगवता;bha·ga·va·tā सेखोपिse·kho·pi समाधिsa·mā·dhi वुत्तोvut·to भगवता,bha·ga·va·tā असेखोपिa·se·kho·pi समाधिsa·mā·dhi वुत्तोvut·to भगवता;bha·ga·va·tā सेखापिse·khā·pi पञ्ञाpañ·ñā वुत्ताvut·tā भगवता,bha·ga·va·tā असेखापिa·se·khā·pi पञ्ञाpañ·ñā वुत्ताvut·tā भगवता।bha·ga·va·tā

“sekhampi kho, mahānāma, sīlaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā, asekhampi sīlaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā; sekhopi samādhi vutto bhagavatā, asekhopi samādhi vutto bhagavatā; sekhāpi paññā vuttā bhagavatā, asekhāpi paññā vuttā bhagavatā.

“Mahānāma, the Buddha has spoken of the ethics, immersion, and wisdom of a trainee; and the ethics, immersion, and wisdom of an adept.
18

कतमञ्च,ka·ta·mañ·ca महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma सेखंse·khaṃ सीलं?sī·laṃ

Katamañca, mahānāma, sekhaṁ sīlaṁ?

What is the ethics of a trainee?
19

इध,i·dha महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma भिक्खुbhik·khu सीलवाsī·la·vā होतिho·ti पातिमोक्खसंवरसंवुतोpā·ti·mok·kha·saṃ·va·ra·saṃ·vu·to विहरतिvi·ha·ra·ti …पे…pe समादायsa·mā·dā·ya सिक्खतिsik·kha·ti सिक्खापदेसु।sik·khā·pa·de·su

Idha, mahānāma, bhikkhu sīlavā hoti pātimokkhasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati …pe… samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu.

It’s when a mendicant is ethical, restrained in the monastic code, conducting themselves well and resorting for alms in suitable places. Seeing danger in the slightest fault, they keep the rules they’ve undertaken.
20

इदंi·daṃ वुच्चति,vuc·ca·ti महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma सेखंse·khaṃ सीलं।sī·laṃ

Idaṁ vuccati, mahānāma, sekhaṁ sīlaṁ.

21

कतमोka·ta·mo च,ca महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma सेखोse·kho समाधि?sa·mā·dhi

Katamo ca, mahānāma, sekho samādhi?

And what is the immersion of a trainee?
22

इध,i·dha महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma भिक्खुbhik·khu विविच्चेवvi·vic·ce·va कामेहिkā·me·hi …पे…pe चतुत्थंca·tut·thaṃ झानंjhā·naṃ उपसम्पज्जu·pa·sam·paj·ja विहरति।vi·ha·ra·ti

Idha, mahānāma, bhikkhu vivicceva kāmehi …pe… catutthaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharati.

It’s when a mendicant, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first absorption … second absorption … third absorption … fourth absorption.
23

अयंa·yaṃ वुच्चति,vuc·ca·ti महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma सेखोse·kho समाधि।sa·mā·dhi

Ayaṁ vuccati, mahānāma, sekho samādhi.

This is called the immersion of a trainee.
24

कतमाka·ta·mā च,ca महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma सेखाse·khā पञ्ञा?pañ·ñā

Katamā ca, mahānāma, sekhā paññā?

And what is the wisdom of a trainee?
25

इध,i·dha महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma भिक्खुbhik·khu ‘इदंi·daṃ दुक्खन्’तिduk·khan यथाभूतंya·thā·bhū·taṃ पजानातिpa·jā·nā·ti …पे…pe ‘अयंa·yaṃ दुक्खनिरोधगामिनीduk·kha·ni·ro·dha·gā·mi·nī पटिपदा’तिpa·ṭi·pa·dā यथाभूतंya·thā·bhū·taṃ पजानाति।pa·jā·nā·ti

Idha, mahānāma, bhikkhu ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti.

They truly understand: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’.
26

अयंa·yaṃ वुच्चति,vuc·ca·ti महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma सेखाse·khā पञ्ञा।pañ·ñā

Ayaṁ vuccati, mahānāma, sekhā paññā.

This is called the wisdom of a trainee.
27

Then a noble disciple—accomplished in ethics, immersion, and wisdom—realizes the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom. And they live having realized it with their own insight in this very life due to the ending of defilements.
28

एवंe·vaṃ खो,kho महानाम,ma·hā·nā·ma सेखम्पिse·kham·pi सीलंsī·laṃ वुत्तंvut·taṃ भगवता,bha·ga·va·tā असेखम्पिa·se·kham·pi सीलंsī·laṃ वुत्तंvut·taṃ भगवता;bha·ga·va·tā सेखोपिse·kho·pi समाधिsa·mā·dhi वुत्तोvut·to भगवता,bha·ga·va·tā असेखोपिa·se·kho·pi समाधिsa·mā·dhi वुत्तोvut·to भगवता;bha·ga·va·tā सेखापिse·khā·pi पञ्ञाpañ·ñā वुत्ताvut·tā भगवता,bha·ga·va·tā असेखापिa·se·khā·pi पञ्ञाpañ·ñā वुत्ताvut·tā भगवता”ति।bha·ga·va·tā

Evaṁ kho, mahānāma, sekhampi sīlaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā, asekhampi sīlaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā; sekhopi samādhi vutto bhagavatā, asekhopi samādhi vutto bhagavatā; sekhāpi paññā vuttā bhagavatā, asekhāpi paññā vuttā bhagavatā”ti.

In this way the Buddha has spoken of the ethics, immersion, and wisdom of both a trainee and an adept.”
