Things That Can’t Be Done (4th)
“Chayimāni, bhikkhave, abhabbaṭṭhānāni.
“Mendicants, these six things can’t be done.
Katamāni cha?
What six?
Abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo sayaṅkataṁ sukhadukkhaṁ paccāgantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo paraṅkataṁ sukhadukkhaṁ paccāgantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo sayaṅkatañca paraṅkatañca sukhadukkhaṁ paccāgantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo asayaṅkāraṁ adhiccasamuppannaṁ sukhadukkhaṁ paccāgantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo aparaṅkāraṁ adhiccasamuppannaṁ sukhadukkhaṁ paccāgantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo asayaṅkārañca aparaṅkārañca adhiccasamuppannaṁ sukhadukkhaṁ paccāgantuṁ.
A person accomplished in view can’t fall back on the idea that pleasure and pain are made by oneself, or that they’re made by another, or that they’re made by both. Nor can they fall back on the idea that pleasure and pain arise by chance, not made by oneself, by another, or by both.
Taṁ kissa hetu?
Why is that?
Tathā hissa, bhikkhave, diṭṭhisampannassa puggalassa hetu ca sudiṭṭho hetusamuppannā ca dhammā.
It is because a person accomplished in view has clearly seen causes and the phenomena that arise from causes.
Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cha abhabbaṭṭhānānī”ti.
These are the six things that can’t be done.”
Ekādasamaṁ.
Sītivaggo navamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Sītibhāvaṁ āvaraṇaṁ,
voropitā sussūsati;
Appahāya pahīnābhabbo,
taṭṭhānā caturopi cāti.
