Cakkhu Sutta: The Eye
At
Savatthi. “Monks, the eye is inconstant, changeable, alterable. The ear…
The nose… The tongue… The body… The mind is inconstant, changeable,
alterable.
“One
who has conviction & belief that these phenomena are this way is called a
faith-follower: one who has entered the orderliness of rightness, entered the plane
of people of integrity, transcended the plane of the run-of-the-mill. He is
incapable of doing any deed by which he might be reborn in hell, in the animal
womb, or in the realm of hungry shades. He is incapable of passing away until
he has realized the fruit of stream-entry.
“One
who, after pondering with a modicum of discernment, has accepted that these
phenomena are this way is called a Dhamma-follower: one who has entered the
orderliness of rightness, entered the plane of people of integrity, transcended
the plane of the run-of-the-mill. He is incapable of doing any deed by which he
might be reborn in hell, in the animal womb, or in the realm of hungry shades.
He is incapable of passing away until he has realized the fruit of
stream-entry.
“One
who knows and sees that these phenomena are this way is called a
stream-enterer, steadfast, never again destined for states of woe, headed for
self-awakening.”
Cala Sutta: Sister Cala
At Savatthi. Then, early in the morning, Cala the
nun put on her robes and, taking her bowl & outer robe, went into Savatthi
for alms. When she had gone for alms in Savatthi and had returned from her alms
round, after her meal she went to the Grove of the Blind to spend the day.
Having gone deep into the Grove of the Blind, she sat down at the foot of a
tree for the day’s abiding.
Then Mara the Evil One, wanting to arouse fear, horripilation,
& terror in her, wanting to make her fall away from concentration,
approached her & said, “What is it that you don’t approve of,
nun?”
“I
don’t approve of birth, my friend.”
[Mara:]
Why don’t you approve of birth? One who is born enjoys
sensual pleasures. Who on earth ever persuaded you: ‘Nun, don’t approve of
birth’?
[Sister
Cala:]
For one who is born there’s death. One who is born sees
pain. It’s a binding, a flogging, a torment. That’s why one shouldn’t approve
of birth. The Awakened One taught me the Dhamma — the overcoming of birth — for
the abandoning of all pain, he established me in the truth. But beings who have
come to form & those with a share in the formless, if they don’t discern
cessation, return to becoming-again.
Then Mara
the Evil One — sad & dejected at realizing, “Cala the nun knows
me” — vanished right there.
