Bhadravudha-manava-puccha: Bhadravudha's Questions

Bhadravudha-manava-puccha

Summary: url=index.html#snp.5.12.than Bhadravudha asks of the Buddha: How did you come to know the Dhamma.

Sn 5.12 PTS: Sn 1101-1104

translated from the Pali by

Thanissaro Bhikkhu

1994-2018

- Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa -

[Bhadravudha:]

I entreat the one who is very intelligent,

released, unperturbed —

who has abandoned home,

	abandoned delight,
	abandoned resemblances,
	cut through craving,
	crossed over the flood.

Having heard the Great One, they will leave —

the many gathered
from many lands, hero,
in hope of your words.

So tell them, please,

how this Dhamma has
been known to you.

[The Buddha:]

Subdue craving & clinging — all —

above, below,
across, in between.<span notetag #fnt-1>([[#fn-1|1]])</span>

For whatever people cling to in the world,

it's through that
that Mara pursues them.

So a monk, mindful,

seeing these people
clinging to entanglement
as entangled in Death's realm,

should cling to nothing

in all the world,
	every world.

Note

1.: For Nd.II's discussion of the various meanings of the objects of craving “above, below, across, in between,” see Note 2 to Sn.V.4 (Mettagu's Question).
