The Great Chapter - 34
Ālayarāmā kho panāyaṁ pajā ālayaratā ālayasammuditā
But this generation delights in desire, is devoted to desire, gladdened by desire,
ālayarāmāya kho pana pajāya ālayaratāya ālayasammuditāya
and for a generation delighting in desire, devoted to desire, gladdened by desire
duddasaṁ idaṁ ṭhānaṁ, yad-idaṁ: idappaccayatā paṭiccasamuppādo.
this thing is hard to see, that is to say: conditionality and conditional origination.
Idam-pi kho ṭhānaṁ sududdasaṁ, yad-idaṁ:
This thing also is very hard to see, that is to say:
sabbasaṅkhārasamatho, sabbūpadhipaṭinissaggo,
the tranquilising of all processes, the letting go of all bases for cleaving,
taṇhakkhayo, virāgo, nirodho, Nibbānaṁ.
the end of craving, dispassion, cessation, Emancipation.
Ahañ-ce va kho pana Dhammaṁ deseyyaṁ pare ca me na ājāneyyuṁ
But if I were to teach the Dhamma and others did not understand me
so mamassa kilamatho sā mamassa vihesā.’ ti
that would be tiring for me, that would be troublesome to me.’
Apissu maṁ Brahme imā anacchariyā gāthāyo paṭibhaṁsu pubbe assutapubbā:
Further these truly wonderful verses, unheard previously in the past, Brahmā,
occurred to me:
‘Kicchena me adhigataṁ halan-dāni pakāsituṁ
‘Now is it suitable for me to explain what was attained with difficulty
Rāgadosaparetehi nāyaṁ Dhammo susambudho.
For those overcome by passion and hatred this Dhamma is not easily understood.
Paṭisotagāmiṁ nipuṇaṁ gambhīraṁ duddasaṁ aṇuṁ,
Going against the stream, it is profound, deep, hard to see, subtle,
Rāgarattā na dakkhanti, tamokkhandhena āvuṭā.’ ti
Those delighting in passion, obstructed by darkness, will not see (it).’
Itiha me paṭisañcikkhato
Such was my reflection
appossukkatāya cittaṁ namati, no Dhammadesanāyā.” ti
and my mind inclined to inaction, not to teaching the Dhamma.”
