dn18:27.1 That is the topic on which the divinity Sanaṅkumāra spoke.
BAGIAN 27
dn18:27.2 And having spoken about that, he addressed the gods of the thirty-three:
dn18:27.3.0 9. Seven Prerequisites of Immersion
dn18:27.4 “What do the good gods of the thirty-three think? How well described by the Buddha are the seven prerequisites of immersion for the development and fulfillment of right immersion!
dn18:27.5 What seven?
dn18:27.6 Right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, and right mindfulness.
dn18:27.7 Unification of mind with these seven factors as prerequisites is called noble right immersion ‘with its vital conditions’ and also ‘with its prerequisites’.
dn18:27.8 Right view produces right purpose. Right purpose produces right speech. Right speech produces right action. Right action produces right livelihood. Right livelihood produces right effort. Right effort produces right mindfulness. Right mindfulness produces right immersion. Right immersion produces right knowledge. Right knowledge produces right freedom.
dn18:27.9 If anything should be rightly described as
dn18:27.10 ‘a teaching that’s well explained by the Buddha, apparent in the present life, immediately effective, inviting inspection, relevant, so that sensible people can know it for themselves; and the doors to freedom from death are flung open,’ it’s this.
dn18:27.11 For the teaching is well explained by the Buddha—apparent in the present life, immediately effective, inviting inspection, relevant, so that sensible people can know it for themselves—and the doors to freedom from death are flung open.
dn18:27.12 Whoever has experiential confidence in the Buddha, the teaching, and the Saṅgha, and has the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones; and whoever is spontaneously reborn, and is trained in the teaching; more than 2,400,000 such Magadhan devotees have passed away having ended three fetters. They’re stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.
dn18:27.13 And there are once-returners here, too.
dn18:27.14 And as for the rest of folk,
dn18:27.15 who I think have shared in merit—
dn18:27.16 I couldn’t even number them,
dn18:27.17 for fear of speaking falsely.”
