“atthi nu kho, bhante, eko dhammo yassa pahānā bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti?
“There is, bhikkhu.”
“Atthi kho, bhikkhu, eko dhammo yassa pahānā bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti.
“But what is that one thing?”
“Katamo pana, bhante, eko dhammo yassa pahānā bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti?
“Ignorance is one thing such that by giving it up a bhikkhu gives up ignorance and gives rise to knowledge.”
“Avijjā kho, bhikkhu, eko dhammo yassa pahānā bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti.

‘Nothing is worth insisting on.’
‘sabbe dhammā nālaṁ abhinivesāyā’ti.
When a bhikkhu has heard that
Evañcetaṁ, bhikkhu, bhikkhuno sutaṁ hoti:
nothing is worth insisting on,
‘sabbe dhammā nālaṁ abhinivesāyā’ti.
they directly know all things. Directly knowing all things, they completely understand all things. Completely understanding all things, they see all signs as other. They see the eye, sights,
So sabbaṁ dhammaṁ abhijānāti, sabbaṁ dhammaṁ abhiññāya sabbaṁ dhammaṁ parijānāti, sabbaṁ dhammaṁ pariññāya sabbanimittāni aññato passati, cakkhuṁ aññato passati, rūpe …

They see the mind, thoughts,
manaṁ aññato passati, dhamme …

That’s how a bhikkhu knows and sees so as to give up ignorance and give rise to knowledge.”
Evaṁ kho, bhikkhu, jānato evaṁ passato bhikkhuno avijjā pahīyati, vijjā uppajjatī”ti.
