15. Anamataggasaṁyutta: On the Unknowable Beginning
II. The Second Chapter — SN15.12: In a Good Way
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, transmigration has no known beginning. … When you see someone in a good way, in a happy state, you should conclude: ‘In all this long time, we too have undergone the same thing.’
Why is that? Transmigration has no known beginning. … This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.”
1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.
"Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro … pe … yaṁ, bhikkhave, passeyyātha sukhitaṁ susajjitaṁ, niṭṭhamettha gantabbaṁ: ‘amhehipi evarūpaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ iminā dīghena addhunā’ti.
Taṁ kissa hetu? Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro. Pubbā koṭi na paññāyati … pe … alaṁ vimuccitun"ti.
Dutiyaṁ.
