Giving UpPahānasutta
“Mendicants, the spiritual life is lived to give up and cut out these seven fetters.“Sattannaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁyojanānaṁ pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati. What seven?Katamesaṁ sattannaṁ? The fetters of attraction, aversion, views, doubt, conceit, desire to be reborn, and ignorance.Anunayasaṁyojanassa pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati, paṭighasaṁyojanassa …pe… The spiritual life is lived to give up and cut out these seven fetters.Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, sattannaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati. When a mendicant has given up the fetters of attraction, repulsion, views, doubt, conceit, desire to be reborn, and ignorance—cut them off at the root, made them like a palm stump, obliterated them, so they are unable to arise in the future—Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno anunayasaṁyojanaṁ pahīnaṁ hoti ucchinnamūlaṁ tālāvatthukataṁ anabhāvaṅkataṁ āyatiṁ anuppādadhammaṁ. they’re called a mendicant who has cut off craving, cast off the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering.”Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, bhikkhu acchecchi taṇhaṁ, vivattayi saṁyojanaṁ, sammā mānābhisamayā antamakāsi dukkhassā”ti.
