Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Dvīhi, bhikkhave, diṭṭhigatehi pariyuṭṭhitā devamanussā olīyanti eke, atidhāvanti eke; cakkhumanto ca passanti.
“Overcome by two kinds of wrong views, gods and humans—some get stuck, while others overreach. But those with clear eyes see.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, olīyanti eke? Bhavārāmā, bhikkhave, devamanussā bhavaratā bhavasammuditā tesaṁ bhavanirodhāya dhamme desiyamāne cittaṁ na pakkhandati na pasīdati na santiṭṭhati nādhimuccati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, olīyanti eke.
And how do some get stuck? Because of taking pleasure in [continued] existence, delighting in existing, and enjoying existence, when the Dhamma is being taught for the ending of continued existence, the minds of some gods and humans are not inspired, they do not gain confidence, do not settle down and do not become resolved. In this way, some lag behind.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, atidhāvanti eke? Bhaveneva kho paneke aṭṭīyamānā harāyamānā jigucchamānā vibhavaṁ abhinandanti—yato kira, bho, ayaṁ attā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā ucchijjati vinassati na hoti paraṁ maraṇā; etaṁ santaṁ etaṁ paṇītaṁ etaṁ yāthāvanti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, atidhāvanti eke.
And how do some overreach? Some, distressed by existence, ashamed of it, and being disgusted by it, delight in annihilation, thinking: ‘Since this self, after the breaking up of the body, after death, is annihilated, perishes, and does not exist after death—this is peaceful, this is excellent, this is the truth.’ In this way, some overreach.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, cakkhumanto passanti? Idha bhikkhu bhūtaṁ bhūtato passati; bhūtaṁ bhūtato disvā bhūtassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, cakkhumanto passantī”ti.
And how do those with vision see? Here, a bhikkhu sees continued conditional existence as it actually is. Having seen continued conditional existence as it actually is, he is practicing for disenchantment, fading of desire, and cessation. In this way, those with clear eyes see.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Ye bhūtaṁ bhūtato disvā,
bhūtassa ca atikkamaṁ;
Yathābhūte vimuccanti,
bhavataṇhā parikkhayā.
“Having seen continued conditional existence as it actually is,
and transcending continued conditional existence,
they are freed in accordance with actuality,
with the complete exhaustion of craving for existence.
Sa ve bhūtapariñño so,
vītataṇho bhavābhave;
Bhūtassa vibhavā bhikkhu,
nāgacchati punabbhavan”ti.
That one, completely comprehending continued conditional existence,
is free from craving for any state of existence;
with the ending of continued conditional existence,
the bhikkhu does not arrive at any future becoming.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
