0.2SabbāsavasuttaAll the Defilements
1.1PTS 1.7Evaṁ me sutaṁ—So I have heard.11.2ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.1.3Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:There the Buddha addressed the mendicants,1.4“bhikkhavo”ti.“Mendicants!”
1.5“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.“Venerable sir,” they replied.1.6Bhagavā etadavoca:The Buddha said this:
2.1“sabbāsavasaṁvarapariyāyaṁ vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi.“Mendicants, I will teach you the explanation of the restraint of all defilements.22.2Taṁ suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.”3
2.3“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.“Yes, sir,” they replied.2.4Bhagavā etadavoca:The Buddha said this:
3.1“Jānato ahaṁ, bhikkhave, passato āsavānaṁ khayaṁ vadāmi, no ajānato no apassato.“Mendicants, I say that the ending of defilements is for one who knows and sees, not for one who does not know or see.43.2Kiñca, bhikkhave, jānato kiñca passato āsavānaṁ khayaṁ vadāmi?For one who knows and sees what?3.3Yoniso ca manasikāraṁ ayoniso ca manasikāraṁ.Rational application of mind and irrational application of mind.53.4Ayoniso, bhikkhave, manasikaroto anuppannā ceva āsavā uppajjanti, uppannā ca āsavā pavaḍḍhanti;When you apply the mind irrationally, defilements arise, and once arisen they grow.63.5yoniso ca kho, bhikkhave, manasikaroto anuppannā ceva āsavā na uppajjanti, uppannā ca āsavā pahīyanti.When you apply the mind rationally, defilements don’t arise, and those that have already arisen are given up.
4.1Atthi, bhikkhave, āsavā dassanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā saṁvarā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā paṭisevanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā adhivāsanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā parivajjanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā vinodanā pahātabbā, atthi āsavā bhāvanā pahātabbā.Some defilements should be given up by seeing, some by restraint, some by using, some by enduring, some by avoiding, some by dispelling, and some by developing.7
5.01. Dassanāpahātabbaāsava1. Defilements Given Up by Seeing
5.1Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā dassanā pahātabbā?And what are the defilements that should be given up by seeing?85.2Idha, bhikkhave, assutavā puthujjano ariyānaṁ adassāvī ariyadhammassa akovido ariyadhamme avinīto, sappurisānaṁ adassāvī sappurisadhammassa akovido sappurisadhamme avinīto—Take an unlearned ordinary person who has not seen the noble ones, and is neither skilled nor trained in the teaching of the noble ones. They’ve not seen true persons, and are neither skilled nor trained in the teaching of the true persons.95.3manasikaraṇīye dhamme nappajānāti, amanasikaraṇīye dhamme nappajānāti.They don’t understand to which things they should apply the mind and to which things they should not apply the mind.5.4So manasikaraṇīye dhamme appajānanto amanasikaraṇīye dhamme appajānanto, ye dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā, te dhamme manasi karoti, ye dhammā manasikaraṇīyā te dhamme na manasi karoti.So they apply the mind to things they shouldn’t and don’t apply the mind to things they should.
6.1Katame ca, bhikkhave, dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme manasi karoti?And what are the things to which they apply the mind but should not?6.2Yassa, bhikkhave, dhamme manasikaroto anuppanno vā kāmāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā kāmāsavo pavaḍḍhati;They are the things that, when the mind is applied to them, give rise to unarisen defilements and make arisen defilements grow: the defilements of sensual desire,106.3anuppanno vā bhavāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pavaḍḍhati;desire to be reborn,6.4anuppanno vā avijjāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā avijjāsavo pavaḍḍhati—and ignorance.6.5ime dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme manasi karoti.These are the things to which they apply the mind but should not.
6.6Katame ca, bhikkhave, dhammā manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme na manasi karoti?And what are the things to which they do not apply the mind but should?6.7Yassa, bhikkhave, dhamme manasikaroto anuppanno vā kāmāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā kāmāsavo pahīyati;They are the things that, when the mind is applied to them, do not give rise to unarisen defilements and give up arisen defilements: the defilements of sensual desire,6.8anuppanno vā bhavāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pahīyati;desire to be reborn,6.9anuppanno vā avijjāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā avijjāsavo pahīyati—and ignorance.6.10ime dhammā manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme na manasi karoti.These are the things to which they do not apply the mind but should.
7.1PTS 1.8Tassa amanasikaraṇīyānaṁ dhammānaṁ manasikārā manasikaraṇīyānaṁ dhammānaṁ amanasikārā anuppannā ceva āsavā uppajjanti uppannā ca āsavā pavaḍḍhanti.Because of applying the mind to what they should not and not applying the mind to what they should, unarisen defilements arise and arisen defilements grow.
7.2So evaṁ ayoniso manasi karoti:This is how they apply the mind irrationally:7.3‘ahosiṁ nu kho ahaṁ atītamaddhānaṁ? Na nu kho ahosiṁ atītamaddhānaṁ? Kiṁ nu kho ahosiṁ atītamaddhānaṁ? Kathaṁ nu kho ahosiṁ atītamaddhānaṁ? Kiṁ hutvā kiṁ ahosiṁ nu kho ahaṁ atītamaddhānaṁ?‘Did I exist in the past? Did I not exist in the past? What was I in the past? How was I in the past? After being what, what did I become in the past?117.4Bhavissāmi nu kho ahaṁ anāgatamaddhānaṁ? Na nu kho bhavissāmi anāgatamaddhānaṁ? Kiṁ nu kho bhavissāmi anāgatamaddhānaṁ? Kathaṁ nu kho bhavissāmi anāgatamaddhānaṁ? Kiṁ hutvā kiṁ bhavissāmi nu kho ahaṁ anāgatamaddhānan’ti?Will I exist in the future? Will I not exist in the future? What will I be in the future? How will I be in the future? After being what, what will I become in the future?’7.5Etarahi vā paccuppannamaddhānaṁ ajjhattaṁ kathaṅkathī hoti:Or they are undecided about the present thus:7.6‘ahaṁ nu khosmi? No nu khosmi? Kiṁ nu khosmi? Kathaṁ nu khosmi? Ayaṁ nu kho satto kuto āgato? So kuhiṁ gāmī bhavissatī’ti?‘Am I? Am I not? What am I? How am I? This sentient being—where did it come from? And where will it go?’12
8.1Tassa evaṁ ayoniso manasikaroto channaṁ diṭṭhīnaṁ aññatarā diṭṭhi uppajjati.When they apply the mind irrationally in this way, one of the following six views arises in them and is taken as a genuine fact.138.2‘Atthi me attā’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;The view: ‘My self survives.’148.3‘natthi me attā’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;The view: ‘My self does not survive.’8.4‘attanāva attānaṁ sañjānāmī’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;The view: ‘I perceive the self with the self.’158.5‘attanāva anattānaṁ sañjānāmī’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;The view: ‘I perceive what is not-self with the self.’168.6‘anattanāva attānaṁ sañjānāmī’ti vā assa saccato thetato diṭṭhi uppajjati;The view: ‘I perceive the self with what is not-self.’178.7atha vā panassa evaṁ diṭṭhi hoti:Or they have such a view:8.8‘yo me ayaṁ attā vado vedeyyo tatra tatra kalyāṇapāpakānaṁ kammānaṁ vipākaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti so kho pana me ayaṁ attā nicco dhuvo sassato avipariṇāmadhammo sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassatī’ti.‘This self of mine is he, the one who speaks, the one who knows, who experiences the results of good and bad deeds in all the different realms. This self is permanent, everlasting, eternal, and imperishable, and will last forever and ever.’188.9Idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, diṭṭhigataṁ diṭṭhigahanaṁ diṭṭhikantāraṁ diṭṭhivisūkaṁ diṭṭhivipphanditaṁ diṭṭhisaṁyojanaṁ.This is called a misconception, the thicket of views, the desert of views, the twist of views, the dodge of views, the fetter of views.198.10Diṭṭhisaṁyojanasaṁyutto, bhikkhave, assutavā puthujjano na parimuccati jātiyā jarāya maraṇena sokehi paridevehi dukkhehi domanassehi upāyāsehi;An unlearned ordinary person who is fettered by views is not freed from rebirth, old age, and death, from sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress.8.11‘na parimuccati dukkhasmā’ti vadāmi.They’re not freed from suffering, I say.
9.1PTS 1.9Sutavā ca kho, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako—9.2ariyānaṁ dassāvī ariyadhammassa kovido ariyadhamme suvinīto, sappurisānaṁ dassāvī sappurisadhammassa kovido sappurisadhamme suvinīto—But take a learned noble disciple who has seen the noble ones, and is skilled and trained in the teaching of the noble ones. They’ve seen true persons, and are skilled and trained in the teaching of the true persons.9.3manasikaraṇīye dhamme pajānāti amanasikaraṇīye dhamme pajānāti.They understand to which things they should apply the mind and to which things they should not apply the mind.9.4So manasikaraṇīye dhamme pajānanto amanasikaraṇīye dhamme pajānanto ye dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā te dhamme na manasi karoti, ye dhammā manasikaraṇīyā te dhamme manasi karoti.So they apply the mind to things they should and don’t apply the mind to things they shouldn’t.
10.1Katame ca, bhikkhave, dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme na manasi karoti?And what are the things to which they don’t apply the mind and should not?10.2Yassa, bhikkhave, dhamme manasikaroto anuppanno vā kāmāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā kāmāsavo pavaḍḍhati;They are the things that, when the mind is applied to them, give rise to unarisen defilements and make arisen defilements grow: the defilements of sensual desire,10.3anuppanno vā bhavāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pavaḍḍhati;desire to be reborn,10.4anuppanno vā avijjāsavo uppajjati, uppanno vā avijjāsavo pavaḍḍhati—and ignorance.10.5ime dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā, ye dhamme na manasi karoti.These are the things to which they don’t apply the mind and should not.
10.6Katame ca, bhikkhave, dhammā manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme manasi karoti?And what are the things to which they do apply the mind and should?10.7Yassa, bhikkhave, dhamme manasikaroto anuppanno vā kāmāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā kāmāsavo pahīyati;They are the things that, when the mind is applied to them, do not give rise to unarisen defilements and give up arisen defilements: the defilements of sensual desire,10.8anuppanno vā bhavāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā bhavāsavo pahīyati;desire to be reborn,10.9anuppanno vā avijjāsavo na uppajjati, uppanno vā avijjāsavo pahīyati—and ignorance.10.10ime dhammā manasikaraṇīyā ye dhamme manasi karoti.These are the things to which they do apply the mind and should.
10.11Tassa amanasikaraṇīyānaṁ dhammānaṁ amanasikārā manasikaraṇīyānaṁ dhammānaṁ manasikārā anuppannā ceva āsavā na uppajjanti, uppannā ca āsavā pahīyanti.Because of not applying the mind to what they should not and applying the mind to what they should, unarisen defilements don’t arise and arisen defilements are given up.
11.1So ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yoniso manasi karoti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti yoniso manasi karoti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti yoniso manasi karoti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yoniso manasi karoti.They rationally apply the mind: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’.2011.2Tassa evaṁ yoniso manasikaroto tīṇi saṁyojanāni pahīyanti—And as they do so, they give up three fetters:11.3sakkāyadiṭṭhi, vicikicchā, sīlabbataparāmāso.substantialist view, doubt, and misapprehension of precepts and observances.2111.4Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā dassanā pahātabbā.These are called the defilements that should be given up by seeing.
12.02. Saṁvarāpahātabbaāsava2. Defilements Given Up by Restraint
12.1Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā saṁvarā pahātabbā?And what are the defilements that should be given up by restraint?2212.2Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso cakkhundriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati.Take a mendicant who, reflecting rationally, lives restraining the eye faculty.12.3Yañhissa, bhikkhave, cakkhundriyasaṁvaraṁ asaṁvutassa viharato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, cakkhundriyasaṁvaraṁ saṁvutassa viharato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti.For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without restraint of the eye faculty do not arise when there is such restraint.2312.4Paṭisaṅkhā yoniso sotindriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati …pe…Reflecting rationally, they live restraining the ear faculty …12.5ghānindriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati …pe…the nose faculty …12.6jivhindriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati …pe…the tongue faculty …12.7kāyindriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati …pe…the body faculty …12.8manindriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati.the mind faculty.12.9Yañhissa, bhikkhave, manindriyasaṁvaraṁ asaṁvutassa viharato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, manindriyasaṁvaraṁ saṁvutassa viharato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti.For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without restraint of the mind faculty do not arise when there is such restraint.24

In this way, I shall put an end to old discomfort and not give rise to new discomfort, and I will have the means to keep going, blamelessness, and a comfortable abiding.’26
15.1Paṭisaṅkhā yoniso senāsanaṁ paṭisevati:Reflecting rationally, they make use of lodgings:15.2‘yāvadeva sītassa paṭighātāya, uṇhassa paṭighātāya, ḍaṁsamakasavātātapasarīsapasamphassānaṁ paṭighātāya, yāvadeva utuparissayavinodanapaṭisallānārāmatthaṁ’.‘Only for the sake of warding off cold and heat; for warding off the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, and reptiles; to shelter from harsh weather and to enjoy retreat.’
