PāliPali
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
“Mendicants, give up one thing and I guarantee you non-return. What one thing? Greed is the one thing. Give it up, and I guarantee you non-return.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
“Ekadhammaṁ, bhikkhave, pajahatha; ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāya. Katamaṁ ekadhammaṁ? Lobhaṁ, bhikkhave, ekadhammaṁ pajahatha; ahaṁ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāyā”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“When overcome by greed beings go to a bad place. Having rightly understood that greed, the discerning give it up. Once they’ve given it up, they never return to this world.”
“Yena lobhena luddhāse, sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ; Taṁ lobhaṁ sammadaññāya, pajahanti vipassino; Pahāya na punāyanti, imaṁ lokaṁ kudācanan”ti.
This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Paṭhamaṁ.
