Gavampatisutta

With Gavampati

Ekaṁ samayaṁ sambahulā therā bhikkhū cetesu viharanti sahañcanike.
At one time several mendicants were staying in the land of the Cetīs at Sahajāti.

Tena kho pana samayena sambahulānaṁ therānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantānaṁ maṇḍalamāḷe sannisinnānaṁ sannipatitānaṁ ayamantarākathā udapādi:
Now at that time, after the meal, on return from almsround, several senior mendicants sat together in the pavilion and this discussion came up among them:

“yo nu kho, āvuso, dukkhaṁ passati dukkhasamudayampi so passati, dukkhanirodhampi passati, dukkhanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadampi passatī”ti.
“Reverends, does someone who sees suffering also see the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering?”

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā gavampati thero bhikkhū etadavoca:
When they said this, Venerable Gavampati said to those senior mendicants:

“sammukhā metaṁ, āvuso, bhagavato sutaṁ, sammukhā paṭiggahitaṁ:
“Reverends, I have heard and learned this in the presence of the Buddha:

‘yo, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ passati dukkhasamudayampi so passati, dukkhanirodhampi passati, dukkhanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadampi passati.
‘Someone who sees suffering also sees the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering.

Yo dukkhasamudayaṁ passati dukkhampi so passati, dukkhanirodhampi passati, dukkhanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadampi passati.
Someone who sees the origin of suffering also sees suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering.

Yo dukkhanirodhaṁ passati dukkhampi so passati, dukkhasamudayampi passati, dukkhanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadampi passati.
Someone who sees the cessation of suffering also sees suffering, the origin of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering.

Yo dukkhanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadaṁ passati dukkhampi so passati, dukkhasamudayampi passati, dukkhanirodhampi passatī’”ti.
Someone who sees the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering also sees suffering, the origin of suffering, and the cessation of suffering.’”

Dasamaṁ.

Koṭigāmavaggo tatiyo.

Dve vajjī sammāsambuddho,

arahaṁ āsavakkhayo;

Mittaṁ tathā ca loko ca,

pariññeyyaṁ gavampatīti.
