Dwelling in goodwill, a monk

with faith in the Awakened One’s teaching,

would attain the good state,

the peaceful state:

stilling-of-fabrications ease.

Monk, bail out this boat.

It will take you lightly when bailed.

Having cut through passion, aversion,

you go from there to Unbinding.

I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Savatthi in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery. There Ven. Sariputta addressed the monks, saying, "Friend monks!"

"Yes, friend," the monks responded.

Ven. Sariputta said: "Friends, just as the footprints of all legged animals are encompassed by the footprint of the elephant, and the elephant's footprint is reckoned the foremost among them in terms of size; in the same way, all skillful qualities are gathered under the four noble truths. Under which four? Under the noble truth of sufferings, under the noble truth of the origination of sufferings, under the noble truth of the cessation of sufferings, and under the noble truth of the path of practice leading to the cessation of sufferings.

Cut through five,

let go of five,

& develop five above all.

A monk gone past five attachments

is said to have crossed the flood.

Practice jhana, monk,

and don’t be heedless.

Don’t take your mind roaming

in sensual strands.

Don’t swallow–heedless–

the ball of iron aflame.

Don’t burn & complain: ‘This is pain.’

heṭṭhā ... pādatalesu cakkāni jātāni, sahassārāni sanemikāni sanābhikāni sabbākāraparipūrāni...

Under the soles of His feet there are wheels, with a thousand rims and naves, complete in every way...


Thirty-two marks of a Great Man (mahā purisa lakkhaņa) in The Digha Nikaya, "Discourse of the Marks" (Pali: Lakkhaṇa Sutta) (DN 30)

There’s

no jhana

for one with

no discernment,

no discernment

for one with

no jhana.

But one with

both jhana

& discernment:

he’s on the verge

of Unbinding.

Vayadhamma sankhara, Appamadena sampadetha

At one time the Buddha was staying between a pair of sal trees in the sal forest of the Mallas at Upavattana near Kusinārā at the time of his full extinguishment.

Then the Buddha said to the mendicants: “Come now, mendicants, I say to you all: ‘Conditions fall apart. Persist with diligence.’”

These were the Realized One’s last words.

SN 6.15: Parinibbānasutta

A monk with his mind at peace,

going into an empty dwelling,

clearly seeing the Dhamma aright:

his delight is more

than human.

However it is,

however it is he touches

the arising-&-passing of aggregates:

he gains rapture & joy:

that, for those who know it,

is deathless,

the Deathless.

Anondha fish of the churning primordial ocean in Buddhist Cosmology, Sumeru Buddhist temple, Samut Prakan, Thailand.

Here the first things

for a discerning monk

are

guarding the senses,

contentment,

restraint in line with the Patimokkha.

He should associate with admirable friends.

Living purely, untiring,

hospitable by habit,

skilled in his conduct,

gaining a manifold joy,

he will put an end

to suffering & stress.

Clearing The Path
Writings of Nanavira Thera
(1960–1965)

Clearing the Path is a work book. Its purpose is to help the user to acquire a point of view that is different from his customary frame of reference, and also more satisfactory. Necessarily, an early step in accomplishing this change is the abandonment of specific mistaken notions about the Buddha’s Teaching and about the nature of experience. More fundamentally, however, this initial change in specific views may lead to a change in point-of-view, whereby one comes to understand experience from a perspective different from what one has been accustomed to—a perspective in which intention, responsibility, context, conditionality, hunger, and related terms will describe the fundamental categories of one’s perception and thinking—and which can lead, eventually, to a fundamental insight about the nature of personal existence.

“Mendicants, brahmins and householders are very helpful to you, as they provide you with robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines. And you are very helpful to brahmins and householders, as you teach them the Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And you reveal a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. That is how this spiritual path is lived supporting each other in order to cross over the flood and make a complete end of suffering.”

“The home-dweller and the mendicants, supporting each other, find success in the true teaching, the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.

The homeless receive requisites from the home-dwellers: robes and lodgings to shelter from harsh conditions.

Relying on the Holy One, home-loving layfolk place faith in the perfected ones, meditators of noble wisdom.

Having practiced the teaching here, the path that goes to a good place, they delight in the heavenly realm.”

Itivuttaka 107 : Bahukarasutta

You yourself

should reprove yourself,

should examine yourself.

As a self-guarded monk

with guarded self,

mindful, you dwell at ease.
