AN 10.120 The Ceremony of Descent (2nd) – Dutiyapaccorohaṇīsutta

 

1.1

Bhikkhū, I will teach you the noble descent.

“Ariyaṁ vo, bhikkhave, paccorohaṇiṁ desessāmi.

1.2

Listen and pay close attention, I will speak. …

Taṁ suṇātha …

1.3

And what is the noble descent?

katamā ca, bhikkhave, ariyā paccorohaṇī?

1.4

It’s when a noble disciple reflects:

Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako iti paṭisañcikkhati:

1.5

‘Wrong view has a bad result

‘micchādiṭṭhiyā kho pāpako vipāko—

1.6

in both this life and the next.’

diṭṭhe ceva dhamme abhisamparāyañcā’ti.

1.7

Reflecting like this, they give up wrong view,

So iti paṭisaṅkhāya micchādiṭṭhiṁ pajahati;

1.8

they descend from wrong view.

micchādiṭṭhiyā paccorohati.

‘Wrong mindfulness …’ …

micchāsatiyā kho …

1.15

‘Wrong samādhi …’ …

micchāsamādhissa kho …

1.16

‘Wrong knowledge …’ …

micchāñāṇassa kho …

1.17

‘Wrong freedom has a bad result

micchāvimuttiyā kho pāpako vipāko—

1.18

in both this life and the next.’

diṭṭhe ceva dhamme abhisamparāyañcāti.

1.19

Reflecting like this, they give up wrong freedom,

So iti paṭisaṅkhāya micchāvimuttiṁ pajahati;

1.20

they descend from wrong freedom.

micchāvimuttiyā paccorohati.

1.21

This is called the noble descent.”

Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, ariyā paccorohaṇī”ti.

1.22

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
