AN 6.103 With a Drawn Sword – Ukkhittāsikasutta

 

1.1

“Bhikkhū, seeing six benefits is quite enough to establish the perception of suffering in all conditions without qualification.

“Cha, bhikkhave, ānisaṁse sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā sabbasaṅkhāresu anodhiṁ karitvā dukkhasaññaṁ upaṭṭhāpetuṁ.

1.2

What six?

Katame cha?

1.3

‘Perception of disillusionment will be established in me for all conditions, like a killer with a drawn sword.’

‘Sabbasaṅkhāresu ca me nibbidasaññā paccupaṭṭhitā bhavissati, seyyathāpi ukkhittāsike vadhake.

1.4

‘My mind will rise above the whole world.’ ‘I will see extinguishment as peaceful.’ ‘My underlying tendencies will be uprooted.’ ‘I will fulfill my duty.’ ‘I will have served my Teacher with love.’

Sabbalokā ca me mano vuṭṭhahissati, nibbāne ca santadassāvī bhavissāmi, anusayā ca me samugghātaṁ gacchissanti, kiccakārī ca bhavissāmi, satthā ca me pariciṇṇo bhavissati mettāvatāyā’ti.

1.5

Seeing these six benefits is quite enough to establish the perception of suffering in all conditions without qualification.”

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cha ānisaṁse sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā sabbasaṅkhāresu anodhiṁ karitvā dukkhasaññaṁ upaṭṭhāpetun”ti.
