Turbulence (1st)Paṭhamaejāsutta

“Mendicants, turbulence is a disease, a boil, a dart.“Ejā, bhikkhave, rogo, ejā gaṇḍo, ejā sallaṁ. That’s why the Realized One lives unperturbed, with dart drawn out.Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, tathāgato anejo viharati vītasallo.

Now, a mendicant might wish: ‘May I live unperturbed, with dart drawn out.’Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu cepi ākaṅkheyya ‘anejo vihareyyaṁ vītasallo’ti,

So let them not conceive anything to be the eye, let them not conceive it in the eye, let them not conceive it as the eye, let them not conceive that ‘the eye is mine.’cakkhuṁ na maññeyya, cakkhusmiṁ na maññeyya, cakkhuto na maññeyya, cakkhu meti na maññeyya; Let them not conceive sights …rūpe na maññeyya, rūpesu na maññeyya, rūpato na maññeyya, rūpā meti na maññeyya; eye consciousness …cakkhuviññāṇaṁ na maññeyya, cakkhuviññāṇasmiṁ na maññeyya, cakkhuviññāṇato na maññeyya, cakkhuviññāṇaṁ meti na maññeyya; eye contact …cakkhusamphassaṁ na maññeyya, cakkhusamphassasmiṁ na maññeyya, cakkhusamphassato na maññeyya, cakkhusamphasso meti na maññeyya. Let them not conceive anything to be the pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on eye contact. Let them not conceive it in that, let them not conceive it as that, and let them not conceive that ‘that is mine.’Yampidaṁ cakkhusamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi na maññeyya, tasmimpi na maññeyya, tatopi na maññeyya, taṁ meti na maññeyya.

Let them not conceive anything to be the ear …Sotaṁ na maññeyya …pe… nose …ghānaṁ na maññeyya …pe… tongue …jivhaṁ na maññeyya, jivhāya na maññeyya, jivhāto na maññeyya, jivhā meti na maññeyya; body …Kāyaṁ na maññeyya …pe… mind …manaṁ na maññeyya, manasmiṁ na maññeyya, manato na maññeyya, mano meti na maññeyya; ideas …dhamme na maññeyya …pe… mind consciousness …mano viññāṇaṁ …pe… mind contact …manosamphassaṁ …pe… Let them not conceive anything to be the pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on mind contact. Let them not conceive it in that, let them not conceive it as that, and let them not conceive that ‘that is mine.’yampidaṁ manosamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi na maññeyya, tasmimpi na maññeyya, tatopi na maññeyya, taṁ meti na maññeyya;

Let them not conceive anything to be all, let them not conceive it in all, let them not conceive it as all, let them not conceive that ‘all is mine’.sabbaṁ na maññeyya, sabbasmiṁ na maññeyya, sabbato na maññeyya, sabbaṁ meti na maññeyya.

Not conceiving, they don’t grasp at anything in the world.So evaṁ amaññamāno na kiñcipi loke upādiyati. Not grasping, they’re not anxious. Not being anxious, they personally become extinguished.Anupādiyaṁ na paritassati. Aparitassaṁ paccattaññeva parinibbāyati.

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