That Buddha traceless of infinite range
whose victory none may e’er undo,
whose vanquished follow to no world,
then by which track will you trace him?

complete: His ken infinite, In what way can you tempt or ensnare him.

That Buddha traceless of infinite range
in whom’s no entangling craving
and no ensnaring not anywhere lead,
then by which track will you trace him?

Human birth is hard to gain,
hard for mortals is their life,

Buddha to occur.

Verse 183. The Instructions Of The Buddha

Every evil never doing
and in wholesomeness increasing
and one’s heart well-purifying:
this is the Buddha’s Teaching.

Verse 184. Patience Is A Great Ascetic Virtue

Patience’s the austerity supreme,
Nibbana’s supreme the Buddhas say.
One who irks or others harms
is not ordained or monk become.

The Buddhas say that imperturbability (Nibbana) is the most supreme.
One is not a renunciate if he hurts another. Only one who does not
harm others is a true saint (samana).

Verse 185. Noble Guidelines

Not reviling, neither harming,
restrained to limit ‘freedom’s’ way,
knowing reason in one’s food,
dwelling far in solitude,
and striving in the mind sublime:
this is the Buddha’s Teaching.

refrain from hurting others, to be trained in the highest forms of
discipline and conduct; to be moderate in eating food; to take delight
in solitude; and to engage in higher thought (which is meditation).

Verse 186. Sensual Pleasures Never Satiated

Not by rain of golden coins

to monasteries and shrines they go.
Folk by fear tormented.

in mountains, forests, parks, trees, and shrines.

Such refuge isn’t secure,
such refuge isn’t supreme.
From all dukkha one’s not free
unto that refuge gone.

supreme refuge. One who takes refuge in them is not released from
all sufferings.

to Dhamma and the Sangha too,
one sees with perfect wisdom
the tetrad of the Noble Truths:

Hard to find the pure and noble
who isn’t born just anywhere,
wherever one so wise is born
that family thrives happily.

Explanation: The Buddha is rare indeed. Such a rare person
is not born everywhere. If such a noble and wise person were born
in a clan, that clan will reap happiness.

Verse 194. Four Factors of Happiness

Blessed is the birth of Buddhas,
blest True Dhamma’s Teaching,
blest the Sangha’s harmony
and blessed is their striving.

We the unfrenzied live
happily midst the frenzied,
among the frenzied humans
from frenzy dwell we free.

Explanation: Among the anxious men and women, who ceaselessly
exert themselves in pursuit of worldly things. We, who do not make
such a feverish effort to pursue the worldly, live happily. Among
those who seek the worldly, among men who seek pleasure, we live without
seeking pleasure.

Verse 200. Happily They Live - Undefiled

We for whom there’s nought
live indeed so happily,
joy-stained we’ll be
like resplendent gods.

Explanation: Happily we live, who have no property to worry
about. Feeding on joy we live like deities of the Heaven of radiance.

Verse 201. Happy About Both Victory And Defeat

Victory gives rise to hate,

no evil like aversion,
no dukkha like the aggregates,
no higher bliss than Peace.

Hunger is the greatest ill,
the greatest dukkha - conditionedness,
knowing this reality at it is:

Health’s the greatest gain,
contentment, best of wealth,
trusting’s best of kin,
Nibbana bliss supreme.

Of wealth, the greatest is peace of mind. Of kinsmen, the trustworthy
are the best. The highest bliss is Nibbana.

Having drunk of solitude
and tasted Peace Sublime,
free from sorrow, evil-free,
one drinks of Dhamma’s joy.

Verse 206. Pleasant Meetings

So fair’s the sight of Noble Ones,
ever good their company,
by relating not to fools
ever happy one may be.

Explanation: Seeing nobles ones is good. Living with them
is always conducive to happiness. Associating with the ignorant is
like keeping company with enemies.

Verse 207. Happy Company

Who moves among fool’s company
must truly grieve for long,
for ill the company of fools
as ever that of foes,
but weal’s a wise one’s company
as meeting of one’s folk.

it always leads to happiness.

Thus go with the steadfast, wise, well-versed,
firm of virtue, practice-pure,
Ennobled ‘Such’, who’s sound, sincere,
as moon in wake of the Milky Way.

capable of sustained effort, dutiful, noble, and are exalted human
beings.

happily midst the haters,
among the hating humans
from hatred dwell we free.

When they hate we live without hating, We live happily among those
who hate.

Verse 209. Admiration of Self-Seekers

One makes an effort where none’s due
with nothing done where effort’s due,
one grasps the dear, gives up the Quest
envying those who exert themselves.

Explanation: Being devoted to what is wrong, not being devoted
to what is right, abandoning one’s welfare, one goes after pleasures
of the senses. Having done so, one envies those who develop themselves.

Verse 210. Not Seeing The Liked And Seeing The Unliked Are Both Painful

Don’t consort with dear ones
at any time, nor those not dear,
‘is dukkha not to see the dear,
‘tis dukkha seeing those not dear.

well as with those whom you dislike. It is painful to part company
from those whom you like. It is equally painful to be with those you
dislike.

Verse 211. Not Bound By Ties Of Defilements

Others then do not make dear
for hard’s the parting from them.
For whom there is no dear, undear
in them no bonds are found.

separation is painful. For those who are free of bonds there are no
endearments or non-endearments.

Verse 212. The Outcome Of Endearment

From endearment grief is born,
from endearment fear,
one who is endearment-free
has no grief - how fear.

Explanation: From endearment arises sorrow. From endearment
fear arises. For one free of endearment, there is no sorrow. Therefore,
how can there be fear for such a person?

Verse 213. Sorrow And Fear Arise Due To Loved Ones

From affection grief is born,
from affection fear,
one who is affection-free
has no grief - how fear?

Explanation: From affection sorrow arises. From affection
fear arises. To one free of affection there is no sorrow. Therefore,

Verse 214. The Outcome Of Passion

From lustfulness arises grief,
from lustfulness springs fear,
one wholly free of lustfulness
has no grief - how fear?

Explanation: From passion arises sorrow. From passion fear
arises. To one free of passion there is no sorrow, In such a person

firm in Dhamma, knower of Truth,
dear to the people’s such a one
who does what should be done.

truth. He looks after his worldly and spiritual responsibilities.

Verse 218. The Person With Higher Urges

One with a wish for the Undeclared,
with mind so well-pervaded,
a mind not bound in pleasures of sense,
an ‘upstream-goer’s’ called.

Explanation: In that person a deep yearning for the undefined
- for Nibbana - has arisen. He has already touched it mentally. He
is called a swimmer against the current - an upstream-bound person.
He has already started the process towards Nibbana.

Verse 219. The Fruits Of Good Action

One who’s long away from home
returns in safety from afar,
then friends, well-wishers, kinsmen too
are overjoyed at his return.

a long while, returns home safely, his friends, relations and well-wishers
welcome him back.

Verse 257. Firmly Rooted In The Law

Who others guides impartially
with carefulness, with Dhamma,
that wise one Dhamma guards,
a ‘Dhamma-holder’s’ called.

Explanation: That wise person, who dispenses justice and judges
others, impartially, without bias, non-arbitrarily, is guarded by
and is in accordance with the Law of Righteousness. Such a person
is described as well established in the Dhamma.

Verse 258. Who Speaks A Lot Is Not Necessarily Wise

Just because articulate
one’s not thereby wise,
hateless, fearless and secure,
a ‘wise one’ thus is called.

Explanation: A person cannot be described as learned simply
because he speaks quite a lot. He who is liberated and secure, non-hating
and fearless is described as a learned person.

Verse 259. Those Who Know Speak Little

Just because articulate
one’s not skilled in Dhamma;
but one who’s heard even little
and Dhamma in the body sees,
that one is skilled indeed,
not heedless of the Dhamma.

Explanation: One does not become an upholder of the Law of
Righteousness merely because one talks quite a lot. Even if one, though
he has heard only a little, experiences the Dhamma by his body and
is diligent, he is the true upholder of the Dhamma.

Verse 260. Grey Hair Alone Does Not Make An Elder

A man is not an Elder
though his head be grey,
he’s just fully ripe in years,
‘aged-in-vain’ he’s called.

Explanation: One does not become an elder merely because one’s
hair has turned grey. One, who is only old in years, has grown ripe
uselessly.

Verse 261. The Person Full Of Effort Is The True Elder

In whom is truth and Dhamma too,
harmlessness, restraint, control,
he’s steadfast, rid of blemishes,
an ‘Elder’ he is called.

Explanation: All things that men do arise out of the mind.
The words and deeds of men spring from their minds. Sometimes, their
mind are blemished - evil. If they speak or act with an evil mind,
the inevitable result is suffering. Wherever they go, this suffering
will follow them. They cannot shake off this suffering. This is very
much like the wheel of the cart that follows the steps of a draught
bull yoked to the cart. The bull is perpetually bound to it.

Verse 262. Who Gives Up Jealousy Is Good-Natured

Not by eloquence alone
or by lovely countenance
is a person beautiful
if jealous, boastful, mean.

Explanation: Merely because of one’s verbal flourishes,
impressive style of speaking, or the charming presence, a person who
is greedy, envious and deceitful, does not become an acceptable individual.

Verse 263. Who Uproots Evil Is The Virtuous One

But ‘beautiful’ is called that one
in whom these are completely shed,
uprooted, utterly destroyed,
a wise one purged of hate.

Explanation: If an individual has uprooted and eradicated
all these evils and has got rid of blemishes, such a person is truly
an acceptable person.

Verse 264. Shaven Head Alone Does Not Make A Monk

By shave head no samana
if with deceit, no discipline.
Engrossed in greed and selfishness
how shall he be a samana?

Explanation: Can an individual who does not practice religion,
speaks untruth, and is filled with desire and greed, become an ascetic,
merely because he is shaven-headed?

Verse 265. Who Give Up Evil Is True Monk

All evils altogether he
subdues both fine and gross.
Having subdued al evil he
indeed is called a ‘Samana’.

Explanation: If an individual were to quell all defilements,
big and small, he is described as an ascetic - a samana.

Verse 266. One Is Not A Monk Merely By Begging Alms Food

Though one begs from others
by this alone’s no bhikkhu.
Not just by this a bhikkhu
but from all Dhamma doing.

Explanation: No one becomes a monk merely because he begs
others. An individual, though begging , does not become a monk if
he embraces vicious and repulsive beliefs.

Verse 267. The Holy Life Makes a Monk

Who both good and evil deeds
has gone beyond with holy life,
having discerned the world he fares
and ‘Bhikkhu’ he is called.

Explanation: Who rises above both good and evil and treads
the path of higher discipline, reflecting wisely , that person, indeed,
deserves to be described as a monk.

Verse 268. Silence Alone Does Not Make A Sage

By silence one is not a sage
if confused and foolish,
but one who’s wise, as if with scales
weighs, adopts what’s good.

Explanation: The ignorant person, possessing foolish ways
and seemingly bewildered, may practice silence - the austerities of
the munis. But this does not make him a sage. But the wise person,
like someone holding scales, weighs good and bad and selects what
is noble.

Verse 269. Only True Wisdom Makes a Sage

Shunning evil utterly
one is a sage, by that a sage.
Whoever both worlds knows
for that one’s called a ‘Sage’.

Explanation: Weighing what is right and wrong, he shuns evil.
For he is a sage (muni). He is capable of weighing both worlds through
his sagely wisdom.

Verse 270. True Ariyas Are Harmless

By harming living beings
one is not a ‘Noble’ man,
by lack of harm to all that live
one is called a ‘Noble One’.

Explanation: A person who hurts living beings is not a noble
human being. The wise person, who does not hurt any living being is
called ariya, a noble individual.

Verse 271. A Monk Should Destroy All Passions

Not by vows and rituals
or again by learning much
or by meditative calm
or by life in solitude.

Explanation: These two stanzas are an admonition to the monks
making an effort to reach the state of blemishlessness - Nibbana.
They are asked not to slacken their effort to win liberation by being
content with some achievement which only pave the way to the final
goal.

cakkhuṃ, bhikkhave, anattā. yo·pi hetu, yo·pi paccayo cakkhussa uppādāya, so·pi anattā. anatta·sambhūtaṃ, bhikkhave, cakkhu kuto attā bhavissati?

The eye, bhikkhus, is nonself. The cause and condition for the arising
of the eye are themselves nonself. Being produced by what is nonself,
bhikkhus, how could the eye be self?

sotaṃ anattā. yo·pi hetu yo·pi paccayo sotassa uppādāya, so·pi anattā. anatta·sambhūtā, bhikkhave, sotaṃ kuto attā bhavissati?

The ear, bhikkhus, is nonself. The cause and condition for the arising
of the ear are themselves nonself. Being produced by what is nonself,
bhikkhus, how could the ear be self?

ghāṇaṃ anattā. yo·pi hetu yo·pi paccayo ghāṇassa uppādāya, so·pi anattā. anatta·sambhūtā, bhikkhave, ghāṇaṃ kuto attā bhavissati?

The nose, bhikkhus, is nonself. The cause and condition for the arising
of the nose are themselves nonself. Being produced by what is nonself,
bhikkhus, how could the nose be self?

jivhā anattā. yo·pi hetu yo·pi paccayo jivhāya uppādāya, so·pi anattā. anatta·sambhūtā, bhikkhave, jivhā kuto attā bhavissati?

The tongue, bhikkhus, is nonself. The cause and condition for the
arising of the tongue are themselves nonself. Being produced by what is
nonself, bhikkhus, how could the tongue be self?

kāyo anattā. yo·pi hetu yo·pi paccayo kāyassa uppādāya, so·pi anattā. anatta·sambhūtā, bhikkhave, kāyo kuto attā bhavissati?

The body, bhikkhus, is nonself. The cause and condition for the arising
of the body are themselves nonself. Being produced by what is nonself,
bhikkhus, how could the body be self?

mano anattā. yo·pi hetu yo·pi paccayo manassa uppādāya, so·pi anattā. anatta·sambhūto, bhikkhave, mano kuto attā bhavissati?

The mind, bhikkhus, is nonself. The cause and condition for the arising
of the mind are themselves nonself. Being produced by what is nonself,
bhikkhus, how could the mind be self?

evaṃ passaṃ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariya·sāvako cakkhusmiṃ·pi nibbindati, sotasmiṃ·pi nibbindati, ghāṇasmiṃ·pi nibbindati, jivhāyaṃ·pi nibbindati, kāyasmiṃ·pi nibbindati, manasi·pi nibbindati; nibbindaṃ virajjati; virāgā vimuccati; vimuttasmiṃ ‘vimuttami‘ti ñāṇaṃ hoti; ‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, n·āparaṃ itthattāyā’ ti pajānātī·ti.

Seeing thus, bhikkhus, an instructed noble disciple grows disgusted
towards the eye, disgusted towards the ear, disgusted towards the nose,
disgusted towards the tongue, disgusted towards the body, disgusted
towards the mind; being disgusted, he is dispassionate; being
dispassionate, he is liberated; in one who is liberated, there is the
knowledge: ‘I am liberated’. He understands: ‘Birth is exhausted, the
brahmic life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is
nothing else for this state of being.’

They, desirous of fine robes, will neglect the practice of wearing cast-off cloth; will neglect isolated forest and wilderness dwellings; will move to towns, cities, and royal capitals, taking up residence there. For the sake of a robe they will do many kinds of unseemly, inappropriate things. This, monks,

Santi, bhikkhave, bhikkhū imasmiṃ bhikkhu·saṅghe ānāpānassati·bhāvan·ānuyogam·anuyuttā viharanti.

There are, bhikkhus, in this sangha of bhikkhus, some bhikkhus who dwell applying themselves to the bhāvana and practice of ānāpānassati.

Ānāpānassati, bhikkhave, bhāvitā bahulīkatā maha·p·phalā hoti mah·ānisaṃsā. Ānāpānassati, bhikkhave, bhāvitā bahulīkatā cattāro satipaṭṭhāne paripūreti. Cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvitā bahulīkatā satta bojjhaṅge paripūrenti. Satta bojjhaṅgā bhāvitā bahulīkatā vijjā·vimuttiṃ paripūrenti. Kathaṃ bhāvitā ca, bhikkhave, ānāpānassati kathaṃ bahulīkatā maha·p·phalā hoti mah·ānisaṃsā?

Ānāpānassati, bhikkhus, when cultivated and pursued, [bears] great fruits, great benefits. Ānāpānassati, bhikkhus, when cultivated and pursued, brings the four satipaṭṭhānas to their completude. The four satipaṭṭhānas, when cultivated and pursued, bring the seven bojjhaṅgas to their completude. The seven bojjhaṅgas, when cultivated and pursued, bring vijjā and vimutti to their completude. And how, bhikkhus, is ānāpānassati cultivated, how is it pursued to [bear] great fruits, great benefits?

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu arañña-gato vā rukkha-mūla-gato vā suññ·āgāra-gato vā nisīdati pallaṅkaṃ ābhujitvā ujuṃ kāyaṃ paṇidhāya parimukhaṃ satiṃ upaṭṭhapetvā. So sato·va assasati, sato·va passasati.

Here, bhikkhus, a
bhikkhu, having gone to the forest or having gone at the root of a tree
or having gone to an empty room, sits down folding the legs crosswise,
setting kāya upright, and setting sati parimukhaṃ. Being thus sato he breathes in, being thus sato he breathes out.

Evaṃ bhāvitā kho, bhikkhave, ānāpānassati evaṃ bahulīkatā maha·p·phalā hoti mah·ānisaṃsā

Thus cultivated, bhikkhus, thus pursued, ānāpānassati [bears] great fruits, great benefits.

Kathaṃ bhāvitā ca, bhikkhave, ānāpānassati kathaṃ bahulīkatā cattāro satipaṭṭhāne paripūreti?

And how, bhikkhus, is ānāpānassati cultivated, how is it pursued to bring the four satipaṭṭhānas to their completude?

Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhu dīghaṃ vā assasanto ‘dīghaṃ assasāmī’ ti pajānāti, dīghaṃ vā passasanto ‘dīghaṃ passasāmī’ ti pajānāti, rassaṃ vā assasanto ‘rassaṃ assasāmī’ ti pajānāti, rassaṃ vā passasanto ‘rassaṃ passasāmī’ ti pajānāti, Sabba-kāya-paṭisaṃvedī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Sabba-kāya-paṭisaṃvedī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Passambhayaṃ kāya-saṅkhāraṃ assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Passambhayaṃ kāya-saṅkhāraṃ passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, kāye kāyānupassī, bhikkhave, tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ.

Kāyesu kāy·aññatar·āhaṃ, bhikkhave, evaṃ vadāmi yadidaṃ assāsa·passāsā. Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, kāye kāyānupassī tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ.

On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu breathing
in long understands: ‘I am breathing in long’, breathing out long
understands: ‘I am breathing out long’., breathing in short understands:
‘I am breathing in short’, breathing out short he understands: ‘I am
breathing out short’, trains
himself: ‘feeling the whole kāya, I will breathe in’, trains himself:
‘feeling the whole kāya, I will breathe out’, trains himself: ‘calming
down the kāya-saṅkhāras, I will breathe in’, trains himself: ‘calming
down the kāya-saṅkhāras, I will breathe out’, on that occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

I
say, bhikkhus, that it is another body inside the body, that is to say
the in and out breath. Therefore, bhikkhus, on that occasion, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ‘Pīti-paṭisaṃvedī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Pīti-paṭisaṃvedī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Sukha-paṭisaṃvedī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Sukha-paṭisaṃvedī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Citta-saṅkhāra-paṭisaṃvedī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Citta-saṅkhāra-paṭisaṃvedī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Passambhayaṃ citta-saṅkhāraṃ assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Passambhayaṃ citta-saṅkhāraṃ passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, vedanāsu vedanānupassī, bhikkhave, tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ.

Vedanāsu vedan·āññatar·āhaṃ, bhikkhave, evaṃ vadāmi yadidaṃ assāsa·passāsānaṃ sādhukaṃ manasikāraṃ. Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, vedanāsu vedanānupassī tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ.

On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu trains
himself: ‘experiencing pīti, I will breathe in’, trains himself:
‘experiencing pīti, I will breathe out’, trains himself: ‘experiencing
sukha, I will breathe in’, trains himself: ‘experiencing sukha, I will
breathe out’, trains himself: ‘perceiving citta-saṅkhāras, I will
breathe in’, trains himself: ‘perceiving citta-saṅkhāras, I will breathe
out’, trains himself: ‘calming down citta-saṅkhāras, I will breathe
in’, trains himself: ‘calming down citta-saṅkhāras, I will breathe out’, on that occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing vedanā in vedanā, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

I say, bhikkhus, that it is another vedanā inside the vedanā, that is to say the thorough manasikāra of in and out breath. Therefore, bhikkhus, on that occasion, a bhikkhu dwells observing vedanā in vedanā, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ‘Citta-paṭisaṃvedī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Citta-paṭisaṃvedī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Abhippamodayaṃ cittaṃ assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Abhippamodayaṃ cittaṃ passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Samādahaṃ cittaṃ assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Samādahaṃ cittaṃ passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Vimocayaṃ cittaṃ assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Vimocayaṃ cittaṃ passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, citte cittānupassī, bhikkhave, tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ.

N·āhaṃ, bhikkhave, muṭṭha·s·satissa a·sampajānassa ānāpānassatiṃ vadāmi. Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, citte cittānupassī tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ.

On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu trains
himself: ‘perceiving citta, I will breathe in’, trains himself:
‘perceiving citta, I will breathe out’, trains himself: ‘gladdening
citta, I will breathe in’, trains himself: ‘gladdening citta, I will
breathe out’, trains himself: ‘concentrating citta, I will breathe in’,
trains himself: ‘concentrating citta, I will breathe out’, trains
himself: ‘releasing citta, I will breathe in’, trains himself:
‘releasing citta, I will breathe out’, on that occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing citta in citta, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

I do not speak, bhikkhus, of ānāpānassati for one who looses sati, for one who is not sampajāna. Therefore, bhikkhus, on that occasion, a bhikkhu dwells observing citta in citta, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ‘Anicc·ānupassī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Anicc·ānupassī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Virāg·ānupassī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Virāg·ānupassī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Nirodh·ānupassī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Nirodh·ānupassī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Paṭinissagg·ānupassī assasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, ‘Paṭinissagg·ānupassī passasissāmī’ ti sikkhati, dhammesu dhammānupassī, bhikkhave, tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ.

So yaṃ taṃ abhijjhā-domanassaṃ pahānaṃ taṃ paññāya disvā sādhukaṃ ajjhupekkhitā hoti. Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, dhammesu dhammānupassī tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ.

On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu trains
himself: ‘contemplating aniccā, I will breathe in’, trains himself:
‘contemplating aniccā, I will breathe out’, trains himself:
‘contemplating virāga, I will breathe in’, trains himself:
‘contemplating virāga, I will breathe out’, trains himself:
‘contemplating nirodha, I will breathe in’, trains himself:
‘contemplating nirodha, I will breathe out’, trains himself:
‘contemplating relinquishment, I will breathe in’, trains himself:
‘contemplating relinquishment, I will breathe out’, on that occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing dhammas in dhammas, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

Whoever has abandoned abhijjhā-domanassa, having seen with paññā, is thoroughly endowed with upekkhā.{1} Therefore, bhikkhus, on that occasion, a bhikkhu dwells observing dhammas in dhammas, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

Evaṃ bhāvitā kho, bhikkhave, ānāpānassati evaṃ bahulīkatā cattāro satipaṭṭhāne paripūreti.

Thus cultivated, bhikkhus, thus pursued, ānāpānassati brings the four satipaṭṭhānas to their completude.

Kathaṃ bhāvitā ca, bhikkhave, cattāro satipaṭṭhānā kathaṃ bahulīkatā satta bojjhaṅge paripūrenti?

And how, bhikkhus, are the four satipaṭṭhānas cultivated, how are they pursued to bring the seven bojjhaṅgas to their completude?

Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhā-domanassaṃ, upaṭṭhitāssa tasmiṃ samaye sati hoti a·sammuṭṭhā. Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno upaṭṭhitā sati hoti a·sammuṭṭhā, sati·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno āraddho hoti. Sati·sambojjhaṅgaṃ tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu bhāveti, sati·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno bhāvanā·pāripūriṃ gacchati.

On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world, on that occasion sati is present and without lapse. On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, sati is present and without lapse, on that occasion the sati sambojjhaṅga is aroused in the bhikkhu. On that occasion, the bhikkhu develops the sati sambojjhaṅga, the sati sambojjhaṅga goes to the completude of its bhāvanā in the bhikkhu.

So tathā·sato viharanto taṃ dhammaṃ paññāya pavicinati pavicarati pari·vīmaṃsaṃ āpajjati. Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhu tathā·sato viharanto taṃ dhammaṃ paññāya pavicinati pavicarati pari·vīmaṃsaṃ āpajjati, dhammavicaya·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno āraddho hoti. Dhammavicaya·sambojjhaṅgaṃ tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu bhāveti, dhammavicaya·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno bhāvanā·pāripūriṃ gacchati.

Remaining thus sato, he examines, investigates thoroughly and makes a complete investigation of that Dhamma with paññā. On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu remaining thus sato examines, investigates thoroughly and makes a complete investigation of that Dhamma with paññā, on that occasion the dhammavicaya sambojjhaṅga is aroused in the bhikkhu. On that occasion, the bhikkhu develops the dhammavicaya sambojjhaṅga, the dhammavicaya sambojjhaṅga goes to the completude of its bhāvanā in the bhikkhu.

Tassa taṃ dhammaṃ paññāya pavicinati pavicarati pari·vīmaṃsaṃ āpajjato āraddhaṃ hoti vīriyaṃ asallīnaṃ. Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno taṃ dhammaṃ paññāya pavicinati pavicarati pari·vīmaṃsaṃ āpajjato āraddhaṃ hoti vīriyaṃ asallīnaṃ, vīriya·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno āraddho hoti. Vīriya·sambojjhaṅgaṃ tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu bhāveti, vīriya·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno bhāvanā·pāripūriṃ gacchati.

In one who examines, investigates thoroughly and makes a complete investigation of that Dhamma with paññā, vīriya
is aroused unflaggingly. On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, in a bhikkhu
who examines, investigates thoroughly and makes a complete investigation
of that Dhamma with paññā, vīriya is aroused unflaggingly, on that occasion the vīriya sambojjhaṅga is aroused in the bhikkhu. On that occasion, the bhikkhu develops the vīriya sambojjhaṅga, the vīriya sambojjhaṅga goes to the completude of its bhāvanā in the bhikkhu.

Āraddha·vīriyassa uppajjati pīti nirāmisā. Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno āraddha·vīriyassa uppajjati pīti nirāmisā, pīti·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno āraddho hoti. Pīti·sambojjhaṅgaṃ tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu bhāveti, pīti·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno bhāvanā·pāripūriṃ gacchati.

In one whose vīriya is aroused, a nirāmisa pīti arises. On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, in a bhikkhu whose vīriya is aroused, a nirāmisa pīti arises, on that occasion the pīti sambojjhaṅga is aroused in the bhikkhu. On that occasion, the bhikkhu develops the pīti sambojjhaṅga, the pīti sambojjhaṅga goes to the completude of its bhāvanā in the bhikkhu.

Pīti·manassa kāyo·pi passambhati, cittam·pi passambhati. Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pīti·manassa kāyo·pi passambhati, cittam·pi passambhati, passaddhi·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno āraddho hoti. Passaddhi·sambojjhaṅgaṃ tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu bhāveti, passaddhi·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno bhāvanā·pāripūriṃ gacchati.

In one whose mind has pīti, the body calms down, the mind calms down. On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, in a bhikkhu whose mind has pīti, the body calms down, the mind calms down, on that occasion the passaddhi sambojjhaṅga is aroused in the bhikkhu. On that occasion, the bhikkhu develops the passaddhi sambojjhaṅga, the passaddhi sambojjhaṅga goes to the completude of its bhāvanā in the bhikkhu.

Passaddha·kāyassa sukhino cittaṃ samādhiyati. Yasmiṃ samaye, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno passaddha·kāyassa sukhino cittaṃ samādhiyati, samādhi·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno āraddho hoti. Samādhi·sambojjhaṅgaṃ tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhu bhāveti, samādhi·sambojjhaṅgo tasmiṃ samaye bhikkhuno bhāvanā·pāripūriṃ gacchati.

In one who is at ease, the body having calmed down, the mind gets
concentrated. On whatever occasion, bhikkhus, in a bhikkhu who is at
ease, the body having calmed down, the mind gets concentrated, on that
