1.1Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:∥Then Venerable Sāriputta went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him,1.2“saṅkhittenapi kho ahaṁ, sāriputta, dhammaṁ deseyyaṁ;“Maybe I’ll teach Dhamma in brief,1.3vitthārenapi kho ahaṁ, sāriputta, dhammaṁ deseyyaṁ;maybe in detail,1.4saṅkhittavitthārenapi kho ahaṁ, sāriputta, dhammaṁ deseyyaṁ;maybe both in brief and in detail.1.5aññātāro ca dullabhā”ti.But it’s hard to find anyone who understands.”

1.6“Etassa, bhagavā, kālo, etassa, sugata, kālo“Now is the time, Blessed One! Now is the time, Holy One!1.7yaṁ bhagavā saṅkhittenapi dhammaṁ deseyya, vitthārenapi dhammaṁ deseyya, saṅkhittavitthārenapi dhammaṁ deseyya.Let the Buddha teach Dhamma in brief, in detail, and both in brief and in detail.1.8Bhavissanti dhammassa aññātāro”ti.There will be those who understand the teaching!”

2.1“Tasmātiha, sāriputta, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ:“So, Sāriputta, you should train like this:2.2‘imasmiñca saviññāṇake kāye ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na bhavissanti, bahiddhā ca sabbanimittesu ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na bhavissanti, yañca cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ upasampajja viharato ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na honti tañca cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ upasampajja viharissāmā’ti.‘There’ll be no I-making, mine-making, or underlying tendency to conceit for this conscious body; and no I-making, mine-making, or underlying tendency to conceit externally for all signs; and we’ll live having achieved the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where I-making, mine-making, and the underlying tendency to conceit are no more.’2.3Evañhi kho, sāriputta, sikkhitabbaṁ.That’s how you should train.

3.4Idañca pana metaṁ, sāriputta, sandhāya bhāsitaṁ pārāyane udayapañhe:And Sāriputta, this is what I was referring to in ‘The Way to the Far Shore’, in ‘The Questions of Udaya’ when I said:

4.1‘Pahānaṁ kāmasaññānaṁ,∥‘The giving up of both4.2domanassāna cūbhayaṁ;sensual desires and displeasures,4.3Thinassa ca panūdanaṁ,the casting aside of dullness,4.4kukkuccānaṁ nivāraṇaṁ.and the prevention of remorse;
