Chapter 79: Pain is like watering and fertilizing a sapling

At one time, the Buddha lived in the Garden of Solitude in the Gion Grove of the Acropolis. One day, the Buddha said to his monks, "Disciples, when they are bound by the things of the world and indulge in the feelings of happiness, joy, and satisfaction brought about by these things, they will let craving grow, and "taking" will be produced with "craving" as a prerequisite, "have" will be produced with "taking" as a precondition, and "birth" will be produced with "have" as a precondition, and "birth" will be produced by "birth", so that "birth" will produce sorrow, sadness, distress, worry, despair, aging, and death. This is the process by which the sufferings and troubles of people or beings in the world gather and appear, and people or beings in the world will continue to suffer and sink in the cycle of life and death according to the method of dependent origin (explained by the method of dependent origin, see chapters 48 and 49).


Disciples, just like saplings that have just been planted on the ground, if a man often loosens the soil for the saplings, and often wateres and fertilizes the saplings, then the saplings will grow slowly and finally grow into towering trees. In the same way, disciples, when they are bound by the things of the world, and indulge in the feeling of obtaining, owning, and enjoying the happiness, satisfaction, and joy brought by these things, it is like regularly loosening the soil and cultivating the soil and watering and fertilizing the saplings that have just been planted on the earth, then craving will continue to grow, "taking" will be produced with "craving" as the precondition, "taking" will be produced with "taking" as a precondition, "being" will be produced with "have" as a precondition, and "birth" will be produced with "birth", so that having "birth" will produce sorrow, Sadness, distress, worry, despair, aging, death. This is the process by which the sufferings and troubles of people or beings in the world gather and appear, and people or beings in the world will continue to suffer and sink in the cycle of life and death according to the method of dependent origin (explained by the method of dependent origin, see chapters 48 and 49).


Disciples, when they are not bound by the things of the world, and do not indulge in the feelings of happiness, joy, and satisfaction brought by these things, and understand that all the things in the world bring to themselves are ultimately painful feelings, then craving will gradually fade, disappear, and disappear. When "love" is destroyed, "taking" is destroyed. When the "take" is destroyed, the "have" is destroyed. When the "have" is destroyed, the "birth" is destroyed. When "life" is gone, sorrow, sorrow, bitterness, worry, despair, old age, and death are gone. This is the process by which the sufferings and troubles of people or beings in the world are eliminated and destroyed. People or beings in the world can be freed from the troubles and sufferings of the cycle of life and death by following the retrograde movement of the method of dependent origin (explained by the method of dependent origin, see chapters 48 and 49).


Disciples, just like a sapling that has just been planted on the earth, if a man not only does not loosen the soil for the sapling, but also does not water and fertilize the sapling, he also takes a shovel for digging soil and a bamboo basket containing soil, and comes to the side of this sapling, he digs the soil vigorously, and all the roots of this sapling, including the small root whiskers, he digs out the sapling one by one, and then he uses an axe and a saw to divide the sapling into countless small wooden pieces, and presses these small wooden blocks into powder, and puts them under the sun to expose them to remove the water from the wood powder. The man then threw the dried wood powder into a fire and burned it into ash, and the ashes were either blown away by the wind or washed away by the rushing rivers and rivers. Disciples, like this, this sapling was dug up one by one, divided into countless small pieces of wood by axes and saws, pressed into wood powder, exposed to the sun to remove water, burned into ashes, and finally these ashes were blown away by the wind, thrown into the great river, washed away, so that the sapling did not exist, it disappeared, and it was impossible to regenerate roots and germinate in the future, and in the future this sapling could no longer appear, it had been completely extinguished and disappeared. In the same way, disciples, when they are not bound by the things of the world, and no longer indulge in the feelings of happiness, joy, and satisfaction brought by these things, understand that everything in the world brings to themselves is ultimately painful feelings, just as they do not loosen the soil and cultivate the soil for saplings, water and fertilize. Saplings are dug up, cut into countless small pieces of wood by axes and saws, pressed into wood powder, exposed to the sun to remove water, burned to ashes by fire, blown away by the wind, thrown into rivers and rivers and washed away, just as craving will gradually fade, extinguish, and disappear. When "love" is destroyed, "take" is destroyed. When the "take" is destroyed, the "have" is destroyed. When the "have" is destroyed, the "birth" is destroyed. When "life" is gone, sorrow, sorrow, bitterness, worry, despair, old age, and death are gone. This is the process by which the sufferings and troubles of people or beings in the world are eliminated and destroyed. People or beings in the world can be freed from the troubles and sufferings of the cycle of life and death by following the retrograde movement of the method of dependent origin (explained by the method of dependent origin, see chapters 48 and 49).


After the Buddha's teachings, the monks who listened to the teachings all paid homage to the Buddha again, praising the immeasurable merits of the Buddha's teachings, and they all practiced according to the Buddha's teachings.

   57. Sāvatthiyaṃ viharati …pe… “saṃyojaniyesu, bhikkhave, dhammesu assādānupassino viharato taṇhā pavaḍḍhati. Taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṃ …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti”.


   “Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, taruṇo rukkho. Tassa puriso kālena kālaṃ mūlāni palimajjeyya kālena kālaṃ paṃsuṃ dadeyya, kālena kālaṃ udakaṃ dadeyya. Evañhi so, bhikkhave, taruṇo rukkho tadāhāro tadupādāno vuddhiṃ virūḷhiṃ vepullaṃ āpajjeyya. Evameva kho, bhikkhave, saṃyojaniyesu dhammesu assādānupassino viharato taṇhā pavaḍḍhati. Taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṃ …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.


   “Saṃyojaniyesu, bhikkhave, dhammesu ādīnavānupassino viharato taṇhā nirujjhati. Taṇhānirodhā upādānanirodho …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hoti.


   “Seyyathāpi bhikkhave, taruṇo rukkho. Atha puriso āgaccheyya kuddālapiṭakaṃ ādāya …pe… nadiyā vā sīghasotāya pavāheyya. Evañhi so, bhikkhave, taruṇo rukkho ucchinnamūlo assa tālāvatthukato anabhāvaṅkato āyatiṃ anuppādadhammo. Evameva kho, bhikkhave, saṃyojaniyesu dhammesu ādīnavānupassino viharato taṇhā nirujjhati. Taṇhānirodhā upādānanirodho …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī”ti. Sattamaṃ.
