At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Bhaggas at Crocodile’s Bellow, in the deer park at Bhesakaḷā’s Wood.

Now at that time, in the land of the Magadhans near Kallavāḷamutta Village, Venerable Mahāmoggallāna was nodding off while meditating.

Then, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, he vanished from the deer park at Bhesakaḷā’s Wood in the land of the Bhaggas and reappeared in front of Mahāmoggallāna near Kallavāḷamutta Village in the land of the Magadhans.

“Pacalāyasi no tvaṁ, moggallāna, pacalāyasi no tvaṁ, moggallānā”ti?

“Are you nodding off, Moggallāna? Are you nodding off?”
13

“एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

“Evaṁ, bhante”.

“Yes, sir.”
14

“तस्मातिह,tas·mā·ti·ha मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na यथासञ्ञिस्सya·thā·sañ·ñis·sa तेte विहरतोvi·ha·ra·to तंtaṃ मिद्धंmid·dhaṃ ओक्कमति,ok·ka·ma·ti तंtaṃ सञ्ञंsañ·ñaṃ माmā मनसाकासि,ma·na·sā·kā·si तंtaṃ सञ्ञंsañ·ñaṃ माmā बहुलमकासि।ba·hu·la·ma·kā·si

“Tasmātiha, moggallāna, yathāsaññissa te viharato taṁ middhaṁ okkamati, taṁ saññaṁ mā manasākāsi, taṁ saññaṁ mā bahulamakāsi.

“So, Moggallāna, don’t focus on or cultivate the perception that you were meditating on when you fell drowsy.

Ṭhānaṁ kho panetaṁ, moggallāna, vijjati yaṁ te evaṁ viharato taṁ middhaṁ pahīyetha.

It’s possible that you’ll give up drowsiness in this way.

But what if that doesn’t work? Then think about and consider the teaching as you’ve learned and memorized it, examining it with your mind.

But what if that doesn’t work? Then get up from your seat, flush your eyes with water, look around in every direction, and look up at the stars and constellations.

No ce te evaṁ viharato taṁ middhaṁ pahīyetha, tato tvaṁ, moggallāna, ālokasaññaṁ manasi kareyyāsi, divāsaññaṁ adhiṭṭhaheyyāsi—

But what if that doesn’t work? Then apply your mind to the perception of light, focusing on the perception of day:
25

यथाya·thā दिवाdi·vā तथाta·thā रत्तिंrat·tiṃ यथाya·thā रत्तिंrat·tiṃ तथाta·thā दिवा।di·vā

yathā divā tathā rattiṁ yathā rattiṁ tathā divā.

And so, with an open and unenveloped heart, develop a mind that’s full of radiance.

But what if that doesn’t work? Then walk mindfully, focusing on the perception of before and behind, your faculties directed inwards and your mind not scattered outside.

But what if that doesn’t work? Then lie down in the lion’s posture—on the right side, placing one foot on top of the other—mindful and aware, and focused on the time of getting up.
31

Paṭibuddhena ca te, moggallāna, khippaññeva paccuṭṭhātabbaṁ:

When you wake, you should get up quickly, thinking:
32

‘नna सेय्यसुखंsey·ya·su·khaṃ नna पस्ससुखंpas·sa·su·khaṃ नna मिद्धसुखंmid·dha·su·khaṃ अनुयुत्तोa·nu·yut·to विहरिस्सामी’ति।vi·ha·ris·sā·mī

‘I will not live indulging in the pleasures of sleeping, lying down, and drowsing.’
33

एवञ्हिe·vañ·hi ते,te मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na सिक्खितब्बं।sik·khi·tab·baṃ

That’s how you should train.
34

तस्मातिह,tas·mā·ti·ha मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na एवंe·vaṃ सिक्खितब्बं:sik·khi·tab·baṃ

Tasmātiha, moggallāna, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ:

So you should train like this:
35

‘नna उच्चासोण्डंuc·cā·soṇ·ḍaṃ पग्गहेत्वाpag·ga·het·vā कुलानिku·lā·ni उपसङ्कमिस्सामी’ति।u·pa·saṅ·ka·mis·sā·mī

‘na uccāsoṇḍaṁ paggahetvā kulāni upasaṅkamissāmī’ti.

‘I will not approach families with my head swollen with vanity.’
36

एवञ्हिe·vañ·hi ते,te मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na सिक्खितब्बं।sik·khi·tab·baṃ

Evañhi te, moggallāna, sikkhitabbaṁ.

That’s how you should train.

Sace, moggallāna, bhikkhu uccāsoṇḍaṁ paggahetvā kulāni upasaṅkamati, santi hi, moggallāna, kulesu kiccakaraṇīyāni.

What happens if a mendicant approaches families with a head swollen with vanity? Well, families have business to attend to,
38

Yehi manussā āgataṁ bhikkhuṁ na manasi karonti, tatra bhikkhussa evaṁ hoti:

so people might not notice when a mendicant arrives. In that case the mendicant thinks:
39

‘कोसुko·su नामnā·ma इदानिi·dā·ni मंmaṃ इमस्मिंi·mas·miṃ कुलेku·le परिभिन्दि,pa·ri·bhin·di विरत्तरूपाvi·rat·ta·rū·pā दानिमेdā·ni·me मयिma·yi मनुस्सा’ति।ma·nus·sā

‘kosu nāma idāni maṁ imasmiṁ kule paribhindi, virattarūpā dānime mayi manussā’ti.

‘Who on earth has turned this family against me? It seems they don’t like me any more.’

Itissa alābhena maṅkubhāvo, maṅkubhūtassa uddhaccaṁ, uddhatassa asaṁvaro, asaṁvutassa ārā cittaṁ samādhimhā.

And so, because they don’t get anything they feel dismayed. Being dismayed, they become restless. Being restless, they lose restraint. And without restraint the mind is far from immersion.
41

तस्मातिह,tas·mā·ti·ha मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na एवंe·vaṃ सिक्खितब्बं:sik·khi·tab·baṃ

Tasmātiha, moggallāna, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ:

So you should train like this:
42

‘नna विग्गाहिककथंvig·gā·hi·ka·ka·thaṃ कथेस्सामी’ति।ka·thes·sā·mī

‘na viggāhikakathaṁ kathessāmī’ti.

‘I won’t get into arguments.’
43

एवञ्हिe·vañ·hi ते,te मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na सिक्खितब्बं।sik·khi·tab·baṃ

Evañhi te, moggallāna, sikkhitabbaṁ.

Viggāhikāya, moggallāna, kathāya sati kathābāhullaṁ pāṭikaṅkhaṁ, kathābāhulle sati uddhaccaṁ, uddhatassa asaṁvaro, asaṁvutassa ārā cittaṁ samādhimhā.

When there’s an argument, you can expect there’ll be lots of talking. When there’s lots of talking, people become restless. Being restless, they lose restraint. And without restraint the mind is far from immersion.

Moggallāna, I don’t praise all kinds of closeness.

I don’t praise closeness with laypeople and renunciates.

When he said this, Venerable Moggallāna asked the Buddha,

“Sir, how do you briefly define a mendicant who is freed through the ending of craving, who has reached the ultimate end, the ultimate sanctuary from the yoke, the ultimate spiritual life, the ultimate goal, and is best among gods and humans?”
51

“इध,i·dha मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no सुतंsu·taṃ होति:ho·ti

“Idha, moggallāna, bhikkhuno sutaṁ hoti:

“Take a mendicant who has heard:

‘sabbe dhammā nālaṁ abhinivesāyā’ti;

‘Nothing is worth insisting on.’

they directly know all things. Directly knowing all things, they completely understand all things. Completely understanding all things, when they experience any kind of feeling—pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral—

So tāsu vedanāsu aniccānupassī viharati, virāgānupassī viharati, nirodhānupassī viharati, paṭinissaggānupassī viharati.

they meditate observing impermanence, dispassion, cessation, and letting go in those feelings.

Meditating in this way, they don’t grasp at anything in the world.

Not grasping, they’re not anxious. Not being anxious, they personally become extinguished.

‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānāti.

They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.’

That’s how I briefly define a mendicant who is freed through the ending of craving, who has reached the ultimate end, the ultimate sanctuary from the yoke, the ultimate spiritual life, the ultimate goal, and is best among gods and humans.”
