AN 3.103 · Sebelum Pencerahan

Kenali dunia dalam sutta ini

Sutta ini mengajak kita merenungkan bagaimana Sang Buddha sendiri menemukan jalan menuju kebebasan, dengan melihat dunia secara jernih: bukan hanya sisi nikmatnya, tetapi juga sisi rapuhnya, serta cara melepaskan keterikatan.

TOKOH & TEMPAT

Sinopsis singkat

Dalam sutta ini, Sang Buddha menceritakan kembali masa sebelum pencerahan-Nya, ketika Beliau masih seorang bodhisatta. Beliau merenungkan tiga hal tentang dunia: kepuasan (assāda), kekurangan (ādīnava), dan jalan keluar (nissaraṇa). Setelah memahami ketiganya secara langsung sebagaimana adanya, Beliau mencapai pencerahan sempurna dan mengumumkannya kepada seluruh alam.

an3.103:1.1 “Mendicants, before my awakening—when I was still unawakened but intent on awakening—I thought:

an3.103:1.3 Then it occurred to me:

an3.103:1.4 ‘The pleasure and happiness that arise from the world: this is its gratification.

an3.103:1.5 That the world is impermanent, suffering, and perishable: this is its drawback.

an3.103:1.6 Removing and giving up desire and greed for the world: this is its escape.’

an3.103:1.7 As long as I didn’t truly understand the world’s gratification, drawback, and escape in this way for what they are, I didn’t announce my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

an3.103:1.8 But when I did truly understand the world’s gratification, drawback, and escape in this way for what they are, I announced my supreme perfect awakening in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.

an3.103:1.9 Knowledge and vision arose in me:

an3.103:1.10 ‘My freedom is unshakable; this is my last rebirth; now there’ll be no more future lives.’”
