Theravāda Vinaya — Mahāvibhaṅga — Pārājikakaṇḍa
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.8.5
Vimuttasmiṁ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṁ ahosi.
When it was freed, I knew it was freed.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.8.6
‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti abbhaññāsiṁ.
I understood that birth had come to an end, the spiritual life had been fulfilled, the job had been done, there was no further state of existence.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.8.7
Ayaṁ kho me, brāhmaṇa, rattiyā pacchime yāme tatiyā vijjā adhigatā,
This was the third true insight, which I attained in the last part of the night.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.8.8
avijjā vihatā, vijjā uppannā, tamo vihato, āloko uppanno—
Delusion was dispelled and true insight arose, darkness was dispelled and light arose,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.8.9
yathā taṁ appamattassa ātāpino pahitattassa viharato.
as happens to one who is heedful, energetic, and diligent.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.8.10
Ayaṁ kho me, brāhmaṇa, tatiyābhinibbhidā ahosi—kukkuṭacchāpakasseva aṇḍakosamhā”ti.
This, brahmin, was my third breaking out, like a chick from an eggshell.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.1
Evaṁ vutte, verañjo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
That brahmin then said to the Buddha,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.2
“jeṭṭho bhavaṁ gotamo, seṭṭho bhavaṁ gotamo.
“Good Gotama is the eldest! Good Gotama is the best!
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.3
Abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama.
Wonderful, good Gotama, wonderful!
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.4
Seyyathāpi, bho gotama, nikkujjitaṁ vā ukkujjeyya, paṭicchannaṁ vā vivareyya, mūḷhassa vā maggaṁ ācikkheyya, andhakāre vā telapajjotaṁ dhāreyya—‘cakkhumanto rūpāni dakkhantī’ti;
Just as one might set upright what’s overturned, or reveal what’s hidden, or show the way to one who’s lost, or bring a lamp into the dark so that one with eyes might see what’s there—
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.5
evamevaṁ bhotā gotamena anekapariyāyena dhammo pakāsito.
just so has the Buddha made the Teaching clear in many ways.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.6
Esāhaṁ bhavantaṁ gotamaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi dhammañca bhikkhusaṅghañca.
Good Gotama, I go for refuge to the Buddha, the Teaching, and the Sangha of monks.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.7
Upāsakaṁ maṁ bhavaṁ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṁ saraṇaṁ gataṁ.
Please accept me as a lay follower who’s gone for refuge for life.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.8
Adhivāsetu ca me bhavaṁ gotamo verañjāyaṁ vassāvāsaṁ saddhiṁ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti.
And please consent to spend the rainy-season residence at Verañjā together with the Sangha of monks.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.9
Adhivāsesi bhagavā tuṇhībhāvena.
The Buddha consented by keeping silent, and the brahmin understood.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:1.9.10
Atha kho verañjo brāhmaṇo bhagavato adhivāsanaṁ viditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.
He then got up from his seat, bowed down, circumambulated the Buddha with his right side toward him, and left.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.1
Tena kho pana samayena verañjā dubbhikkhā hoti dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.
At that time Verañjā was short of food and afflicted with hunger, with crops affected by whiteheads and turned to straw. It was not easy to get by on almsfood.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.2
Tena kho pana samayena uttarāpathakā assavāṇijā pañcamattehi assasatehi verañjaṁ vassāvāsaṁ upagatā honti.
Just then some horse dealers from Uttarāpatha had entered the rainy-season residence at Verañjā with five hundred horses.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.3
Tehi assamaṇḍalikāsu bhikkhūnaṁ patthapatthapulakaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.
In the horse pen they prepared portion upon portion of steamed grain for the monks.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.4
Bhikkhū pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya verañjaṁ piṇḍāya pavisitvā piṇḍaṁ alabhamānā assamaṇḍalikāsu piṇḍāya caritvā patthapatthapulakaṁ ārāmaṁ āharitvā udukkhale koṭṭetvā koṭṭetvā paribhuñjanti.
Then, after robing up in the morning, the monks took their bowls and robes and entered Verañjā for alms. Not getting anything, they went to the horse pen. They then brought back many portions of steamed grain to the monastery, where they pounded and ate them.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.5
Āyasmā panānando patthapulakaṁ silāyaṁ pisitvā bhagavato upanāmeti. Taṁ bhagavā paribhuñjati.
Venerable Ānanda crushed a portion on a stone, took it to the Buddha, and the Buddha ate it.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.6
Assosi kho bhagavā udukkhalasaddaṁ.
And the Buddha heard the sound of the mortar.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.7
Jānantāpi tathāgatā pucchanti, jānantāpi na pucchanti;
When Buddhas know what is going on, sometimes they ask and sometimes not.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.8
kālaṁ viditvā pucchanti, kālaṁ viditvā na pucchanti;
They know the right time to ask and when not to ask.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.9
atthasaṁhitaṁ tathāgatā pucchanti, no anatthasaṁhitaṁ.
Buddhas ask when it is beneficial, otherwise not,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.10
Anatthasaṁhite setughāto tathāgatānaṁ.
for Buddhas are incapable of doing what is unbeneficial.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.11
Dvīhi ākārehi buddhā bhagavanto bhikkhū paṭipucchanti— dhammaṁ vā desessāma, sāvakānaṁ vā sikkhāpadaṁ paññapessāmāti.
Buddhas question the monks for two reasons: to give a teaching or to lay down a training rule.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.12
Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi—“kiṁ nu kho so, ānanda, udukkhalasaddo”ti?
And so he said to Ānanda, “Ānanda, what’s this sound of a mortar?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.13
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
Ānanda told him what was happening.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.14
“Sādhu sādhu, ānanda.
“Well done, Ānanda.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.1.15
Tumhehi, ānanda, sappurisehi vijitaṁ. Pacchimā janatā sālimaṁsodanaṁ atimaññissatī”ti.
You’re all superior people who have conquered the problems of famine. Later generations will despise even meat and rice.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.1
Atha kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
Then Venerable Mahāmoggallāna went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, and said,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.2
“etarahi, bhante, verañjā dubbhikkhā dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā.
“At present, sir, Verañjā is short of food and afflicted with hunger, with crops affected by whiteheads and turned to straw.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.3
Na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.
It’s not easy to get by on almsfood.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.4
Imissā, bhante, mahāpathaviyā heṭṭhimatalaṁ sampannaṁ—seyyathāpi khuddamadhuṁ anīlakaṁ; evamassādaṁ.
But the undersurface of this great earth abounds with food, tasting just like pure honey.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.5
Sādhāhaṁ, bhante, pathaviṁ parivatteyyaṁ. Bhikkhū pappaṭakojaṁ paribhuñjissantī”ti.
Would it be good, sir, if I inverted the earth so that the monks may enjoy the nutrition in that ground fungus?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.6
“Ye pana te, moggallāna, pathavinissitā pāṇā te kathaṁ karissasī”ti?
“But what will you do, Moggallāna, with the creatures that live there?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.7
“Ekāhaṁ, bhante, pāṇiṁ abhinimminissāmi—seyyathāpi mahāpathavī. Ye pathavinissitā pāṇā te tattha saṅkāmessāmi.
“I’ll transform one hand to be like the great earth and make those creatures go there.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.8
Ekena hatthena pathaviṁ parivattessāmī”ti.
I’ll then invert the earth with the other hand.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.9
“Alaṁ, moggallāna, mā te rucci pathaviṁ parivattetuṁ.
“Let it be, Moggallāna, don’t invert the earth.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.10
Vipallāsampi sattā paṭilabheyyun”ti.
Those creatures might lose their minds.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.11
“Sādhu, bhante, sabbo bhikkhusaṅgho uttarakuruṁ piṇḍāya gaccheyyā”ti.
“In that case, sir, would it be good if the whole Sangha of monks could go to Uttarakuru for alms?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:2.2.12
“Alaṁ, moggallāna, mā te rucci sabbassa bhikkhusaṅghassa uttarakuruṁ piṇḍāya gamanan”ti.
“Let it be, Moggallāna, don’t pursue this.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.1.1
Atha kho āyasmato sāriputtassa rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi—
Soon afterwards, while reflecting in private, Venerable Sāriputta thought,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.1.2
“katamesānaṁ kho buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosi;
“Which Buddhas had a long-lasting spiritual life, and which not?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.1.3
katamesānaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti?
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.1.4
Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā sāriputto bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
In the evening, after coming out of seclusion, Sāriputta went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, and said,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.1.5
“idha mayhaṁ, bhante, rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi—
“Just now, sir, while I was reflecting in private, I was wondering which Buddhas had a long-lasting spiritual life, and which not.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.1.6
‘katamesānaṁ kho buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosi, katamesānaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī’ti. Katamesānaṁ nu kho, bhante, buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosi, katamesānaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti?
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.1.7
“Bhagavato ca, sāriputta, vipassissa bhagavato ca sikhissa bhagavato ca vessabhussa brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosi.
“Sāriputta, the spiritual life established by the Buddhas Vipassī, Sikhī, and Vessabhū didn’t last long.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.1.8
Bhagavato ca, sāriputta, kakusandhassa bhagavato ca koṇāgamanassa bhagavato ca kassapassa brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti.
But the spiritual life established by the Buddhas Kakusandha, Konāgamana, and Kassapa did.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.1
“Ko nu kho, bhante, hetu ko paccayo, yena bhagavato ca vipassissa bhagavato ca sikhissa bhagavato ca vessabhussa brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti?
“And why did the spiritual life established by the former three Buddhas not last long?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.2
“Bhagavā ca, sāriputta, vipassī bhagavā ca sikhī bhagavā ca vessabhū kilāsuno ahesuṁ sāvakānaṁ vitthārena dhammaṁ desetuṁ.
“They made no effort to give detailed teachings to their disciples.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.3
Appakañca nesaṁ ahosi suttaṁ geyyaṁ veyyākaraṇaṁ gāthā udānaṁ itivuttakaṁ jātakaṁ abbhutadhammaṁ vedallaṁ.
They gave few discourses in prose or in mixed prose and verse; few expositions, verses, heartfelt exclamations, quotations, birth stories, amazing accounts, and analyses.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.4
Apaññattaṁ sāvakānaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ. Anuddiṭṭhaṁ pātimokkhaṁ.
Nor did they lay down training rules or recite a monastic code.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.5
Tesaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ antaradhānena buddhānubuddhānaṁ sāvakānaṁ antaradhānena ye te pacchimā sāvakā nānānāmā nānāgottā nānājaccā nānākulā pabbajitā te taṁ brahmacariyaṁ khippaññeva antaradhāpesuṁ.
After the disappearance of those Buddhas and the disciples awakened under them, those who were the last disciples—of various names, families, and castes, who had gone forth from various households—allowed that spiritual life to disappear rapidly.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.6
Seyyathāpi, sāriputta, nānāpupphāni phalake nikkhittāni suttena asaṅgahitāni tāni vāto vikirati vidhamati viddhaṁseti.
It’s like flowers on a wooden plank. If they’re not held together with a string, they’re scattered about, whirled about, and destroyed by the wind.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.7
Taṁ kissa hetu?
Why?
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.8
Yathā taṁ suttena asaṅgahitattā.
Because they’re not held together with a string.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.9
Evameva kho, sāriputta, tesaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ antaradhānena buddhānubuddhānaṁ sāvakānaṁ antaradhānena ye te pacchimā sāvakā nānānāmā nānāgottā nānājaccā nānākulā pabbajitā te taṁ brahmacariyaṁ khippaññeva antaradhāpesuṁ.
Just so, after the disappearance of those Buddhas and the disciples awakened under them, those who were the last disciples allowed that spiritual life to disappear rapidly.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.10
Akilāsuno ca te bhagavanto ahesuṁ sāvake cetasā ceto paricca ovadituṁ.
Instead they were untiring at instructing their disciples by reading their minds.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.11
Bhūtapubbaṁ, sāriputta, vessabhū bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho aññatarasmiṁ bhiṁsanake vanasaṇḍe sahassaṁ bhikkhusaṅghaṁ cetasā ceto paricca ovadati anusāsati—
At one time, Sāriputta, the Buddha Vessabhū, the Perfected and the fully Awakened One, was staying in a certain frightening forest grove. He instructed a sangha of a thousand monks by reading their minds, saying,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.12
‘evaṁ vitakketha, mā evaṁ vitakkayittha;
‘Think like this, not like that;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.13
evaṁ manasikarotha, mā evaṁ manasākattha;
pay attention like this, not like that;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.14
idaṁ pajahatha, idaṁ upasampajja viharathā’ti.
abandon this and attain that.’
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.15
Atha kho, sāriputta, tassa bhikkhusahassassa vessabhunā bhagavatā arahatā sammāsambuddhena evaṁ ovadiyamānānaṁ evaṁ anusāsiyamānānaṁ anupādāya āsavehi cittāni vimucciṁsu.
When they had been instructed by Buddha Vessabhū, their minds were freed from the corruptions through letting go.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.16
Tatra sudaṁ, sāriputta, bhiṁsanakassa vanasaṇḍassa bhiṁsanakatasmiṁ hoti—yo koci avītarāgo taṁ vanasaṇḍaṁ pavisati, yebhuyyena lomāni haṁsanti.
But if anyone with sensual desire entered that frightening forest grove, they usually had goosebumps all over.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.2.17
Ayaṁ kho, sāriputta, hetu ayaṁ paccayo yena bhagavato ca vipassissa bhagavato ca sikhissa bhagavato ca vessabhussa brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti.
This is why the spiritual life established by those Buddhas did not last long.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.1
“Ko pana, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena bhagavato ca kakusandhassa bhagavato ca koṇāgamanassa bhagavato ca kassapassa brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti?
“Why then did the spiritual life established by the latter three Buddhas last long?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.2
“Bhagavā ca, sāriputta, kakusandho bhagavā ca koṇāgamano bhagavā ca kassapo akilāsuno ahesuṁ sāvakānaṁ vitthārena dhammaṁ desetuṁ.
“The Buddhas Kakusandha, Konāgamana, and Kassapa were untiring in giving detailed teachings to their disciples.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.3
Bahuñca nesaṁ ahosi suttaṁ geyyaṁ veyyākaraṇaṁ gāthā udānaṁ itivuttakaṁ jātakaṁ abbhutadhammaṁ vedallaṁ,
They gave many discourses in prose and in mixed prose and verse; many expositions, verses, heartfelt exclamations, quotations, birth stories, amazing accounts, and analyses.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.4
paññattaṁ sāvakānaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ, uddiṭṭhaṁ pātimokkhaṁ.
And they laid down training rules and recited a monastic code.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.5
Tesaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ antaradhānena buddhānubuddhānaṁ sāvakānaṁ antaradhānena ye te pacchimā sāvakā nānānāmā nānāgottā nānājaccā nānākulā pabbajitā te taṁ brahmacariyaṁ ciraṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ ṭhapesuṁ.
After the disappearance of those Buddhas and the disciples awakened under them, those who were the last disciples—of various names, families, and castes, who had gone forth from various households—made that spiritual life last for a long time.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.6
Seyyathāpi, sāriputta, nānāpupphāni phalake nikkhittāni suttena susaṅgahitāni, tāni vāto na vikirati na vidhamati na viddhaṁseti.
It’s like flowers on a wooden plank. If they’re held together with a string, they’re not scattered about, whirled about, or destroyed by the wind.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.7
Taṁ kissa hetu?
Why?
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.8
Yathā taṁ suttena susaṅgahitattā.
Because they are held together with a string.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.9
Evameva kho, sāriputta, tesaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ antaradhānena buddhānubuddhānaṁ sāvakānaṁ antaradhānena ye te pacchimā sāvakā nānānāmā nānāgottā nānājaccā nānākulā pabbajitā te taṁ brahmacariyaṁ ciraṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ ṭhapesuṁ.
Just so, after the disappearance of those Buddhas and the disciples awakened under them, those who were the last disciples made that spiritual life last for a long time.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.3.10
Ayaṁ kho, sāriputta, hetu ayaṁ paccayo yena bhagavato ca kakusandhassa bhagavato ca koṇāgamanassa bhagavato ca kassapassa brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti.
This is why the spiritual life established by those Buddhas lasted long.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.4.1
Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto uṭṭhāyāsanā ekaṁsaṁ uttarāsaṅgaṁ karitvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṁ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
Sāriputta then got up from his seat, arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, raised his joined palms, and said,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.4.2
“etassa, bhagavā, kālo. Etassa, sugata, kālo.
“This is the time, venerable sir,

Yaṁ bhagavā sāvakānaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññapeyya, uddiseyya pātimokkhaṁ, yathayidaṁ brahmacariyaṁ addhaniyaṁ assa ciraṭṭhitikan”ti.
for laying down training rules and reciting a monastic code, so that this spiritual life may last for a long time.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.4.4
“Āgamehi tvaṁ, sāriputta. Āgamehi tvaṁ, sāriputta.
“Hold on, Sāriputta.

The Teacher doesn’t lay down training rules or recite a monastic code until the causes of corruption appear in the Sangha.

When the causes of corruption appear for any of these reasons, then the Teacher lays down training rules for his disciples and recites a monastic code in order to counteract these causes.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pj1:3.4.15
Nirabbudo hi, sāriputta, bhikkhusaṅgho nirādīnavo apagatakāḷako suddho sāre patiṭṭhito.
Sāriputta, the Sangha of monks is free from cancer and danger, stainless, pure, and established in the essence.
