Saṅkhārupapattisutta |
Rebirth by co-doing |
Evaṃ me sutaṃ— |
So I have heard. |
ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. |
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. |
Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: |
There the Buddha addressed the monks: |
“bhikkhavo”ti. |
“monks!” |
“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. |
“Venerable sir,” they replied. |
Bhagavā etadavoca: |
The Buddha said this: |
“saṅkhārupapattiṃ vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi, |
“I shall teach you rebirth by co-doing. |
taṃ suṇātha, sādhukaṃ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti. |
Listen and pay close attention, I will speak.” |
“Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. |
“Yes, sir,” they replied. |
Bhagavā etadavoca: |
The Buddha said this: |
“Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddhāya samannāgato hoti, sīlena samannāgato hoti, sutena samannāgato hoti, cāgena samannāgato hoti, paññāya samannāgato hoti. |
“Take a monk who has faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom. |
Tassa evaṃ hoti: |
They think: |
‘aho vatāhaṃ kāyassa bhedā paraṃ maraṇā khattiyamahāsālānaṃ sahabyataṃ upapajjeyyan’ti. |
‘If only, when my body breaks up, after death, I would be reborn in the company of well-to-do aristocrats!’ |
So taṃ cittaṃ dahati, taṃ cittaṃ adhiṭṭhāti, taṃ cittaṃ bhāveti. |
They settle on that thought, stabilize it and develop it. |
Tassa te saṅkhārā ca vihārā ca evaṃ bhāvitā evaṃ bahulīkatā tatrupapattiyā saṃvattanti. |
Those co-doings and meditations of theirs, developed and cultivated like this, lead to rebirth there. |
Ayaṃ, bhikkhave, maggo ayaṃ paṭipadā tatrupapattiyā saṃvattati. |
This is the path and the practice that leads to rebirth there. |
Puna caparaṃ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddhāya samannāgato hoti, sīlena samannāgato hoti, sutena samannāgato hoti, cāgena samannāgato hoti, paññāya samannāgato hoti. |
Furthermore, take a monk who has faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom. |
Tassa evaṃ hoti: |
They think: |
‘aho vatāhaṃ kāyassa bhedā paraṃ maraṇā brāhmaṇamahāsālānaṃ … pe … |
‘If only, when my body breaks up, after death, I would be reborn in the company of well-to-do brahmins … |
gahapatimahāsālānaṃ sahabyataṃ upapajjeyyan’ti. |
well-to-do householders.’ |
So taṃ cittaṃ dahati, taṃ cittaṃ adhiṭṭhāti, taṃ cittaṃ bhāveti. |
They settle on that thought, stabilize it and develop it. |
Tassa te saṅkhārā ca vihārā ca evaṃ bhāvitā evaṃ bahulīkatā tatrupapattiyā saṃvattanti. |
Those co-doings and meditations of theirs, developed and cultivated like this, lead to rebirth there. |
Ayaṃ, bhikkhave, maggo ayaṃ paṭipadā tatrupapattiyā saṃvattati. |
This is the path and the practice that leads to rebirth there. |
Puna caparaṃ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddhāya samannāgato hoti, sīlena samannāgato hoti, sutena samannāgato hoti, cāgena samannāgato hoti, paññāya samannāgato hoti. |
