- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Thus have I heard at one time.
- The lord dwelt at Sravasti.
- Early in the morning the lord dressed,
- Put on his cloak, took his bowl,
- And entered the great city of Sravasti
- To collect alms.
- When he had eaten and returned
- From his round, the lord put away
- His bowl and cloak, washed his feet,
- And sat down on the seat arranged for him,
- Crossing his legs, holding his body upright, and
- Mindfully fixing his attention in front of him.
- Then many monks approached to where
- The lord was, saluted his feet with
- Their heads, thrice walked round him
- To the right, and sat down on one side.
- At that time the venerable Subhuti
- Came to that assembly, and sat down.
- Then he rose from his seat,
- Put his upper robe over one shoulder,
- Placed his right knee on the ground,
- Bent forth his folded hands towards
- The lord, and said to the lord:
- 'It is wonderful, o lord,
- It is exceedingly wonderful, o well-gone,
- How much the bodhisattvas,
- The great beings, have been helped
- With the greatest help by the Tathagata.
- How then, o lord, should one who has
- Set out in the bodhisattva-vehicle,
- Stand, how progress,
- How control the thoughts?'
- After these words the lord said to Subhuti:
- 'Therefore, Subhuti, listen well,
- And attentively!
- Someone who has set out in the vehicle
- Of a bodhisattva should produce
- A thought in this manner:
- 'As many beings as there are
- In the universe of beings,
- Comprehended under the term "beings",
- All these I must lead to nirvana,
- Into that realm of nirvana
- Which leaves nothing behind.
- And yet, although innumerable beings
- Have thus been led to nirvana,
- No being at all has been led to nirvana.'
- And why?
- If in a bodhisattva the notion
- Of a "being" should take place,
- He could not be called a bodhi-being.
- And why?
- He is not to be called a bodhi-being
- In whom the notion of a self
- Or of a being should take place,
- Or the notion of a living soul
- Or of a person.'
