Connected Discourses on Without Discoverable
Beginning.
“Bhikkhus, this samsāra is without discoverable
beginning. A first point is not
discerned of beings roaming and wandering on hindered by ignorance and fettered
by craving. One person, roaming and wandering
on hindered by ignorance and fettered by craving, would leave behind a stack of
bones, a heap of bones, a pile of bones as large as this Mount Vepulla, if
there were someone to collect them and what is collected would not perish. For what reason? Because, bhikkhus, this saṃsāra is without
discoverable beginning. A first point is
not discerned of beings roaming and wandering on hindered by ignorance and
fettered by raving. For such a long
time, bhikkhus, you have experienced suffering, anguish, and disaster, and
swelled the cemetery. It is enough to
experience revulsion towards all formations, enough to become dispassionate
towards them, enough to be liberated from them.”
10 10) Person. 15 Anamataggasamyutta. Connected
Discourses on Without Discoverable Beginning.
