Without Reserve (a)^[1]

Translated from the Pali by E.M. Hare.

[308]

[1][than] Thus have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove,
in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

There the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," they replied,
and the Exalted One said:

Anent. > O.E. on efen, on efn, on emn = on even with, on a level with, side-by side with, beside, face to face with, opposite, against; #10-11: in respect of, as regards; in respect or referece to, concerning, about.

— p.p.

"Monks, if a monk perceive six advantages,
it is enough to establish,
without reserve,
the thought of impermanence anent all phenomena.

What six?

"Then^[2] all phenomena shall appear to me as lacking fixity;

■

my mind shall find no delight in any world;

■

my mind shall rise above every world;

■

my thoughts shall be inclined towards Nibbāna;

■

the fetters in me shall go towards their ceasing;

■

and I shall follow the course of highest recluseship."

[309] Verily, monks, if a monk perceive these six advantages,
it is enough to establish,
without reserve,
the thought of impermanence anent all phenomena.'
