Danda Sutta: The Stick
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
At Savatthi. There the Blessed One said: “From
an inconstruable beginning comes transmigration. A beginning point is not
evident, though beings hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving are
transmigrating & wandering on. Just as a stick
thrown up in the air lands sometimes on its base, sometimes on its side,
sometimes on its tip; in the same way, beings hindered by ignorance and
fettered by craving, transmigrating & wandering on, sometimes go from this
world to another world, sometimes come from another world to this.
“Why
is that? From an inconstruable beginning comes transmigration. A beginning
point is not evident, though beings hindered by ignorance and fettered by
craving are transmigrating & wandering on. Long have you thus experienced
stress, experienced pain, experienced loss, swelling the cemeteries — enough to
become disenchanted with all fabricated things, enough to become dispassionate,
enough to be released.”
