AN 5.23 · Noda-noda | Tiga Keranjang

Kenali dunia dalam sutta ini

Sutta ini mengajak kita merenungkan bagaimana kualitas pikiran kita sendiri—apakah sedang keruh oleh nafsu, kebencian, atau keraguan—dan bagaimana membersihkannya agar menjadi jernih dan bermanfaat. Mari kita simak perumpamaan emas yang indah ini dan lihat bagaimana ia berlaku bagi kehidupan batin kita.

TOKOH & TEMPAT

Sinopsis singkat

Dalam sutta ini, Sang Buddha menggunakan perumpamaan emas murni yang terbebas dari lima noda untuk menggambarkan pikiran yang terbebas dari lima rintangan. Ketika pikiran bersih dari kelima noda batin—nafsu indrawi, niat buruk, kelambanan dan kantuk, kegelisahan dan penyesalan, serta keragu-raguan—pikiran menjadi lentur, mudah diarahkan, dan bersinar, sehingga mampu mencapai berbagai pencapaian spiritual, termasuk kekuatan batin, pengetahuan langsung, dan akhirnya kebebasan dari kekotoran batin.

an5.23:6.1 If you wish: ‘May I recollect many kinds of past lives. That is: one, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand rebirths; many eons of the world contracting, many eons of the world expanding, many eons of the world contracting and expanding. May I remember: “There, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn somewhere else. There, too, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn here.” May I recollect my many past lives, with features and details.’
