Yaṁ kiñci viññāṇaṁ atītānāgatapaccuppannaṁ,<br />
Whatever consciousness (there is) in the past, future or present,<br />
ajjhattaṁ vā bahiddhā vā, oḷārikaṁ vā sukhumaṁ vā hīnaṁ vā paṇītaṁ vā,<br />
internal or external, gross or fine, inferior or excellent,<br />
yaṁ dūre vā santike vā sabbaṁ viññāṇaṁ:<br />
whether far or near, regarding all consciousness:<br />
‘Netaṁ mama, nesoham-asmi, na me so attā,’ ti<br />
‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my Self,’<br />
evam-etaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ.<br />
in just this way, as it really is, it should be seen with full wisdom.<br />
Evaṁ passaṁ bhikkhave sutavā Ariyasāvako rūpasmim-pi nibbindati,<br />
Seeing in this way, monks, the learned, Noble disciple, grows weary of bodily form,<br />
vedanāya pi nibbindati, saññāya pi nibbindati,<br />
and weary of feeling, and weary of perception,<br />
saṅkhāresu pi nibbindati, viññāṇasmim-pi nibbindati,<br />
and weary of (mental) processes, and weary of consciousness,<br />
nibbindaṁ virajjati, virāgā vimuccati,<br />
through weariness he becomes dispassionate, through dispassion he is liberated,<br />
vimuttasmiṁ vimuttam-iti ñāṇaṁ hoti:<br />
in liberation, there is the knowledge that such is liberation:<br />
‘Khīṇā jāti<br />
‘Destroyed is (re)birth<br />
vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ<br />
accomplished is the spiritual life<br />
kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ<br />
done is what ought to be done<br />
nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ ti pajānātī ti.<br />
there is no more of this mundane state’ - this he knows.<br />
Idam-avoca Bhagavā,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Gracious One said this,<br />
attamanā pañcavaggiyā bhikkhū Bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinanduṁ.<br />
and the group-of-five monks were uplifted and greatly rejoiced in what was said by<br />
the Gracious One.
