THE BUDDHA’S VICTORY VERSE

THE BUDDHA’S VICTORY VERSE.

 

Aneka jati samsaram Sandha vissam anibhissam

Gahakaraka gavesanto Dukkhajati punappunam

Gahakaraka ditthosi Puna geham nakahasi

Sabba te phasuka bagga Gahakutam visankhatam

Visankharagatam cittam Tanhanam khayamajjhaga

Seeking but not finding the housebuilder, I have traveled through the round of countless births. How painful is birth over and over again. Oh housebuilder! You have now been caught! You shall not build a house again. Your rafters have been broken. Your ridgepole demolished. The unconditioned consciousness has been attained. And every kind of craving has been destroyed.

PATICCASAMUPADA ANULOMA

Dependent Origination in order of arising.

Avijja paccaya sankhara. Sankhara paccaya vinnanam.

Vinnanam paccaya nama-rupam Nama-rupa paccaya salayatanam.

Salayatana paccaya phasso. Phassa paccaya vedana.

Vedana paccaya tanha. Tanha paccaya upadanam.

Upadana paccaya bhavo. Bhava paccaya jati.

Jati paccaya jara-maranam-soka-parideva-dukkha-

domanassupayasa sambhavanti.

Evam etassa kevalassa dukkha khandhassa samudayo hoti.

Conditioned by ignorance, intentional activities arise.
Conditioned by intentional activities, re-linking consciousness arises.
Conditioned by re-linking consciousness, mind and matter arise.
Conditioned by mind and matter, the six-fold sense base arises.
Conditioned by the six-fold sense base, contact arises.
Conditioned by contact, feeling arises.
Conditioned by feeling, craving arises.
Conditioned by craving, grasping arises.
Conditioned by grasping, becoming arises.
Conditioned by becoming, birth arises.
Conditioned by birth, ageing, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair arise.

Thus does this entire aggregation arise.

When the true nature of things becomes clear to the ardent, meditating Brahman,then all their doubts fade away, since they realise that every thing has to have a cause.
