6: The Chapter about the Wise – 90<br />

Developing renunciation and Awakening<br />

Fifty monks who passed the Rains Retreat in Kosala visited the<br />

Buddha in Sāvatthi after the Retreat and this is the inspiring<br />

teaching the Buddha gave them on that occasion.<br />

87. Kaṇhaṁ dhammaṁ vippahāya, sukkaṁ bhāvetha paṇḍito,<br />

okā anokaṁ āgamma; viveke yattha dūramaṁ,<br />

Having abandoned the dark state,<br />

the wise should develop the bright,<br />

having gone forth to homelessness<br />

from home, living in solitude,<br />

where it is hard to find delight.<br />

88. Tatrābhiratim-iccheyya, hitvā kāme akiñcano,<br />

par i yodapeyya attānaṁ cittaklesehi paṇḍito.<br />

One should take delight in that place,<br />

having given up sense pleasures,<br />

and having no possessions,<br />

the wise one should then purify<br />

the self of defilements of mind.<br />

89. Yesaṁ sambodhi-aṅgesu sammā cittaṁ subhāvitaṁ,<br />

ādānapaṭinissagge anupādāya ye ratā,<br />

khīṇāsavā jutimanto, te loke parinibbutā.<br />

For those who have well developed<br />

the factors of awakening,<br />

having given up grasping, those who<br />

delight in being unattached,<br />

pollutant-free and shining forth,<br />

are emancipated here.<br />
