949Seeing many who inspire confidence,
Personally developed and well-restrained,
The sage Paṇḍarasagotta
Asked the one known as Phussa:

950"In future times,
What desire and motivation
And behaviour will people have?
Please answer my question."

951"Listen to my words
O sage known as Paṇḍarasa:
And remember them carefully,
I will describe the future.

952In the future many will be
Angry and hostile,
Denigrating, stubborn, and treacherous,
Envious, and holding divergent views.

953Thinking they understand the profundity of the Dhamma,
They remain on the near shore.
Superficial and disrespectful towards the Dhamma,
They have no respect for one another.

954In the future,
Many dangers will arise in the world.
Fools will defile
The Dhamma that has been taught so well.

955Though lacking good qualities,
The incompetent, the talkative,
And the unlearned,
Will be powerful in Saṅgha proceedings.

956Though possessing good qualities,
The competent, the conscientious,
And the unbiased,
Will be weak in Saṅgha proceedings.

957In the future, fools will accept
Gold and silver,
Fields and property, goats and sheep,
And male and female bonded servants.

958Fools looking to find fault in others,
But bereft of virtues themselves,
Will wander about, insolent,
Like cantankerous beasts.

959They’ll be arrogant,
Wrapped in robes of blue;
Deceitful, obstinate, chatty, caustic,
They’ll wander as if they were noble ones.

960With hair sleeked back with oil,
Fickle, their eyes painted with eye-liner,
They’ll travel on the high-road,
Wrapped in robes of ivory color.

961They’ll love white clothes,
And they’ll detest the deep-dyed ochre robe,
The banner of the arahants,
Which is worn without disgust by the free.

962They’ll want lots of things,
And be lazy, lacking energy;
Weary of the forest,
They’ll stay in villages.

963Being unrestrained, they’ll keep company with
Those who obtain lots of things,
And who always enjoy wrong livelihood,
Following their example.

964They won’t respect those
Who don’t obtain lots of things,
And they won’t associate with the wise,
Even though they’re very amiable.

965Disparaging their own banner,
Which is dyed the colour of copper,
Some will wear the white banner
Of the followers of other religions.

966Then they’ll have no respect
For the ochre robe;
The monks will not reflect
On the nature of the ochre robe.

967This awful lack of reflection
Was unthinkable to the elephant,
Who was overcome by suffering,
Pierced by an arrow, and injured.

968Then the six-tusked elephant,
Seeing the deep-coloured banner of the arahants,
Straight away spoke these verses
Connected with the goal.

969The impure one
Who will wear the ochre robe
Without taming and truth,
Isn’t worthy of the ochre robe.

970Whoever has rejected impurities,
Endowed with virtues,
Possessing truth and taming,
They are truly worthy of the ochre robe.

971Devoid of virtue, unintelligent,
Wild, doing what they like,
Their minds all over the place, indolent
They are not worthy of the ochre robe.

972Whoever is endowed with virtue,
Free of lust, possessing samādhi,
Their heart’s intention pure,
They are truly worthy of the ochre robe.

973The conceited, arrogant fool,
Who has no virtue,
Is worthy of a white robe —
What use is an ochre robe for them?

974In the future, monks and nuns
With corrupt hearts, disrespectful,
Will disparage those
With hearts of loving-kindness.

975Though trained in wearing the robe
By senior monks,
The unintelligent will not listen,
Wild, doing what they like.

976With that kind of attitude to training,
Those fools won’t respect each another,
Or take any notice of their mentors,
Like a wild horse with its charioteer.

977So, in the future,
This will be the practice
Of monks and nuns,
When the latter days have come.

978Before this terrifying future arrives,
Be easy to admonish,
Kind in speech,
And respect one another.

979Have hearts of loving-kindness and compassion,
And keep your precepts;
Be energetic, resolute,
And always strong in exertion.

980Seeing heedlessness as fearful,
And heedfulness as security,
Develop the eight-fold path,
Realising the deathless state."

981"A mindful person is like one of good conduct,
Or like one who is peaceful;
A heedful person is like one of good intentions,
who is practicing jhāna;
Happy inside, possessing samādhi,
Solitary, contented; that is what they call a monk.

982When eating fresh or dried food,
One shouldn’t be overly satisfied.
A monk should wander mindfully,
With unfilled belly, taking limited food.

983Four or five mouthfuls before you’re full,
Drink some water;
This is enough to live comfortably
For a resolute monk.

984Covered by a suitable robe,
Which is for this purpose;
This is enough to live comfortably
For a resolute monk.

985When sitting cross-legged,
The rain doesn’t fall on the knees;
This is enough to live comfortably
For a resolute monk.

986When you’ve seen happiness as suffering,
And suffering as a dart,
You know there’s no difference between them —
With what are you bound to the world?
What would you become?

987When you think, ‘May I not associate with people of bad wishes,
Lazy, lacking energy
With little learning, disrespectful’ —
With what are you bound to the world?
What would you become?

988A wise person who is learned,
Endowed with virtues,
Devoted to serenity of heart —
Let them stand at the head.

989Whoever is devoted to proliferation,
A wild animal delighting in proliferation,
Is deprived of nibbāna,
The unexcelled safety from the yoke.

990Whoever has given up proliferation,
Delighting in the path free of proliferation,
Is blessed with nibbāna,
The unexcelled safety from the yoke.

991Whether in the village or in the wilderness,
In lands low or high,
Wherever arahants live
Is a delightful place.

992The wilderness is delightful!
Where most people find no delight,
Those who are free of lust delight there,
As they are not seeking sensual pleasures.

993When you see someone who sees your faults,
A wise person who rebukes you,
You should stick close to such an intelligent person,
As if they were revealing some hidden treasure.
Sticking close to such a person,
Things get better, not worse.

994You should advise, you should admonish;
You should curb rudeness;
For such a person is loved by the mindful,
Not loved by the unmindful.

995The Blessed One, the Buddha, the seer
Was teaching Dhamma to another.
While Dhamma was being taught
I listened attentively, to understand the meaning —
My listening wasn’t wasted,
I’m liberated, without defilements.

996Not for knowledge of past lives,
Nor even for clairvoyance;
Not for psychic powers, or reading the minds of others,
Nor for knowing people’s passing away and being reborn;
Not for purifying the power of clairaudience,
Did I have any resolve."

997"His only shelter is at the foot of a tree;
With shaved head, wrapped in the outer robe,
The senior monk who is foremost in wisdom,
Upatissa himself practices jhāna.

998Entering a meditation state without thought,
A disciple of the Buddha
Is at that moment blessed
With noble silence.

999Just like a rocky mountain
Is unshakable and firmly grounded;
So when delusion ends,
A monk, like a mountain, doesn’t tremble."

1000"To the blameless man
Who is always seeking purity,
Even a hair-tip of evil
Seems the size of a cloud.

1001I don’t long for death;
I don’t long for life;
I will lay down this body,
Aware and mindful.

1002I don’t long for death;
I don’t long for life;
I await my time,
Like a worker waiting for their wages."

1003"Both before and after
It’s death, not the deathless,
Practice, don’t perish —
Don’t let the moment pass you by.

1004Just like a frontier city,
Guarded inside and out,
So you should ward yourselves
Don’t let the moment pass you by.
Those who pass up the moment
Grieve when they end up in hell."

1005"Calm and quiet,
Wise in counsel, not restless;
He shakes off bad qualities
As the wind shakes leaves off a tree.

1006Calm and quiet,
Wise in counsel, not restless;
He plucks off bad qualities
As the wind plucks leaves off a tree.

1007Calm and sorrowless,
Clear and undisturbed,
Of good virtue and intelligent:
You should put an end to suffering."

1008"Some householders, and even some of those gone forth,
Are not to be trusted.
Even some who were good later become bad;
While some who were bad become good.

1009Sensual desire, ill-will
Dullness & drowsiness,
Restlessness, and doubt:
These are the five mental stains for a monk.

1010Whoever’s samādhi does not waver,
Regardless of whether or not
They receive honours,
Is one who lives heedfully.

1011They regularly practice jhāna,
With subtle insight into views;
Delighting in the end of grasping,
They are said to be a good person.

1012Ocean, earth,
Mountains, wind —
These cannot compare
With the teacher’s magnificent liberation.

1013He is the senior monk who keeps the Wheel of Dhamma rolling,
Possessing great knowledge and samādhi.
Like earth, like water, like fire,
He is neither attracted nor repelled.

4He has attained the perfection of wisdom,
He has great intelligence and great discernment;
He is not stupid, but appears stupid;
He always wanders, quenched.

1015I’ve attended on the teacher
And fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
The heavy burden is laid down,
I’ve undone the attachment to being reborn in any state of existence.

1016Strive on with heedfulness:
This is my advice.
Come, now I’ll realise nibbāna,
I am liberated in every way."

1017"A wise person would not make friends
With a slanderous or hostile person,
With a miser, or one who delights in the misfortunes of others;
Association with a bad person is harmful.

1018The wise would make friends
With the faithful, the pleasant,
Those with understanding, who are learned;
Association with a good person is blessed.

1019See this fancy puppet,
A heap of sores, a composite body,
Diseased, obsessed over,
Having no lasting stability.

1020See this fancy shape,
With its gems and earrings;
It is bones wrapped with skin,
Made pretty by its clothes.

1021Rouged feet
And powdered face
Is enough to delude a fool,
But not a seeker of the far shore.

1022Hair in eight braids
And eyeliner applied,
Is enough to delude a fool,
But not a seeker of the far shore.

1023Like a newly decorated make-up box,
The disgusting body all adorned
Is enough to delude a fool,
But not a seeker of the far shore.

1024Gotama is learned, a brilliant speaker,
The attendant to the Buddha.
Unfettered, with burden put aside,
He lies down to sleep.

1025Unfettered, his defilements have ended,
He has transcended attachments, and has attained nibbāna.
He bears his final body,
Gone beyond birth and death.

1026Gotama, in whom the teachings of the Buddha,
The Kinsman of the Sun, are established,
Stands on the path
Leading to nibbāna.

1027I learned 82, 000 from the Buddha,
And 2, 000 from the monks;
These 84, 000
Are the teachings I have memorized.

1028A person of little learning
Ages like an ox —
Their flesh grows,
But their wisdom doesn’t.

1029A learned person who, on account of their learning,
Looks down on someone of little learning,
Seems to me like
A blind man holding a lamp.

1030You should stay close to a learned person —
Don’t lose what you’ve learned.
It is the root of the spiritual life,
So you should memorize the Dhamma.

1031Knowing the sequence and meaning of the teaching,
Skilled in the interpretation of terms,
He makes sure it is well memorized,
And then examines the meaning.

1032Accepting the teachings, he becomes enthusiastic;
Making an effort, he scrutinizes the Dhamma;
Striving at the right time,
He is serene inside himself.

1033If you want to understand the Dhamma,
You should associate with the sort of person
Who is learned, and has memorized the Dhamma,
A wise disciple of the Buddha.

1034A monk who is learned, and has memorized the Dhamma,
A keeper of the great sage’s treasury,
Is a visionary for the entire world,
Venerable, and learned.

1035Delighting in Dhamma, enjoying Dhamma,
Reflecting on Dhamma,
Recollecting Dhamma,
He doesn’t decline in the true Dhamma.

1036When your body is pampered and heavy,
While your remaining time is running out;
Greedy for physical pleasure,
How can you find happiness as an ascetic?

1037Every direction is unclear!
The Dhamma does not occur to me!
With the passing of our good friend,
It all seems dark.

1038If your friend has passed away,
And your teacher is past and gone,
There’s no friend like
Mindfulness of the body.

1039The old have passed away,
And I don’t get on with the new.
Today I meditate alone
Like a bird snug in its nest."

1040"Many international visitors
Have come to see.
Don’t block the audience,
Let the congregation see me."

1041"Lots of international visitors
Have come to see.
The teacher grants them the opportunity,
The seer doesn’t stop them.

1042For the 25 years
Since I have been a trainee,
No sensual perception arose in me:
See the excellence of the Dhamma!

1043For the 25 years
Since I have been a trainee,
No malicious perception arose in me:
See the excellence of the Dhamma!

1044For 25 years
I attended on the Blessed One
With loving deeds,
Like a shadow that never left.

1045For 25 years
I attended on the Blessed One
With loving words,
Like a shadow that never left.

1046For 25 years
I attended on the Blessed One
With loving thoughts,
Like a shadow that never left.

1047While the Buddha was walking meditation,
I walked meditation behind him.
As he taught the Dhamma,
Knowledge arose in me.

1048I’m a trainee, who has more to do!
My mind is not perfected!
Yet the teacher, who was so compassionate to me,
Has passed into nibbāna.

1049Then there was terror!
Then they had goose-bumps!
When the Buddha, endowed with all qualities,
Passed into nibbāna."

1050"Ānanda, who was learned, and had memorized the Dhamma,
A keeper of the great sage’s treasury,
A visionary for the entire world,
Has passed into nibbāna.

1051He was learned, and had memorized the Dhamma,
A keeper of the great sage’s treasury,
A visionary for the entire world,
When all was black, he dispelled the dark.

1052He is the sage who remembered the teachings,
And mastered their sequence, holding them firm.
The senior monk who memorized the Dhamma,
Ānanda was a mine of gems."

1053"I’ve attended on the teacher
And fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
The heavy burden is laid down,
I’ve undone the attachment to being reborn in any state of existence."
