Mogharaja-manava-puccha: Mogharaja's Question

translated from the Pali by

Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Alternate translation: Ireland

[Mogharaja:] Twice now, O Sakyan, I've asked you, but you, One with vision, haven't answered me. When asked the third time the celestial seer answers: so I have heard. This world, the next world, the Brahma world with its devas: I don't know how they're viewed by the glorious Gotama. So to the one who has seen to the far extreme, I've come with a question: How does one view the world so as not to be seen by Death's king? [The Buddha:] View the world, Mogharaja, as empty — always mindful to have removed any view about self. This way one is above & beyond death. This is how one views the world so as not to be seen by Death's king.

Note

On viewing the world as void, see S.XXXV.85.
