Learn Pāḷi Through Sutta

Taught by Sayagyi Cālā Therī, 8 Jan 2024

 

KHANDHA SUTTA

 

Sabbāsīvisajātīnaṁ,  

Dibbamantāgadhaṁ viya, 

Yaṁ nāseti visaṁ ghoraṁ,

 Sesañcāpi parissayaṁ.

Ānākkhettamhi sabbattha, 

sabbadā sabbapāṇinaṁ,

Sabbaso pi nivāreti, parittaṁ taṁ bhaṇāma he. 

Oh good people! Let us recite this protective Sutta which, like the medicine of a divine mantra, destroys the terrible venom of all poisonous creatures and thoroughly destroys all other dangers to all beings in all places at all times within the sphere of Authority (of the Paritta).

Virūpakkhehi me mettaṁ,   

Mettaṁ Erāpathehi me,

Chabyāputtehi me mettaṁ,

Mettaṁ Kaṇhāgotamakehi ca.

 May there be love between me and the Virūpakkhas. May there be love between me and the Erāpathas. May there be love between me and the Chabyāputtas. May there be love between me and the Kaṇhāgotamakas.

[Kaṇhāgotamakanāgarājakula]

 

Apādakehi me mettaṁ, Mettaṁ dvipādakehi me.

Catuppadehi me mettaṁ,  Mettaṁ bahuppadehi me.                    

May there be love between me and creatures without feet. May there be love between me and creatures with two feet. May there be love between me and creatures with four feet. May there be love between me and creatures with many feet. 

Mā maṁ apādako hiṁsi, Mā maṁ hiṁsi dvipādako, Mā maṁ catuppado hiṁsi,

Mā maṁ hiṁsi bahuppado.

May creatures without feet not harm/injure/kill me. May creatures with two feet not harm me. May creatures with four feet not harm me. May creatures with many feet not harm me.

Sabbe sattā sabbe pāṇā,         

Sabbe bhūtā ca kevalā,          

Sabbe bhadrāni passantu,     

Mā kañci pāpamāgamā.    

All creatures, all beings that breathe, and all beings that have been born,

may they all without exception see what is good. May not any evil (suffering) come to any being. 

Kañci = kiñci =kiṃ+ ci =something/any  

 Appamāṇo Buddho, Appamāṇo Dhammo,  Appamāṇo Saṅgho,

 pamāṇavantāni sarīsapāni,

 Ahi vicchikā satapadī,

 uṇṇanābhī sarabhū mūsikā.                     [sarabū] 

Immeasurable is the Buddha, immeasurable is the Dhamma, immeasurable is the Saṁgha. Limited are creeping things: snakes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, lizards, mice.

Katā me rakkhā, kataṁ me parittaṁ, 

Paṭikkamantu bhūtāni, Sohaṁ namo Bhagavato,

Namo sattannaṁ Sammāsambuddhanaṁ.

A protection has been made by me, a safeguard has been made by me.

Let all the creatures withdraw.

I pay homage to the Buddha I pay homage to the seven Fully Enlightened Ones.

Khandha-suttaṁ Niṭṭhitaṁ.

End of Khandha Sutta.

Dhamma Reflection: The Four Types of Kamma in Our Lives

Let me share a story that illustrates how these four types of kamma manifest in our daily lives. In Buddhist teachings, there are four types of kamma that shape our experiences: Productive kamma (Janaka), Supportive kamma (Upatthambhaka), Obstructive kamma (Upapilaka), and Destructive kamma (Upaghataka).  There was a young girl who came to stay at an education center at the age of 9. She was fortunate to receive good food and quality education from various teachers. Her loving mother supported her education wholeheartedly and constantly encouraged her to continue her studies. However, when she turned 14, her mother passed away.  Her relatives especially her aunt then encouraged her to return to their village, claiming it was for further studies. In reality, the aunt had selfish motives - she wanted the girl to help care for her during childbirth and look after her new baby. Upon returning to the village, the girl abandoned her studies and spent her time playing with old friend...
