Evening Chants 3 of 5


4. Khandha Paritta (蕴护经)
Virūpakkhehi me mettaṃ, mettaṃ erāpathehi me;
Chabyāputtehi me mettaṃ, mettaṃ kaṇhāgotamakehi ca.

Apādakehi me mettaṃ, mettaṃ dipādakehi me;
Catuppadehi me mettaṃ, mettaṃ bahuppadehi me.

maṃ apādako hiṃsi, mā maṃ hiṃsi dipādako;
Mā maṃ catuppado hiṃsi, mā maṃ hiṃsi bahuppado.

Sabbe sattā sabbe pāṇā, sabbe bhūtā ca kevalā;
Sabbe bhadrāni passantu, mā kañci pāpamāgamā.

Appamāṇo buddho, appamāṇo dhammo;
Appamāṇo saṅgho, pamāṇavantāni siriṃsapāni.

Ahi-vicchikā satapadī, uṇṇanābhī sarabū mūsikā;
Katā me rakkhā katā me parittā, paṭikkamantu bhūtāni;
Sohaṃ namo bhagavato, namo sattannaṃ sammāsambuddhānan-ti.

Discourse on [Protection of] Aggregates
May I have loving-kindness towards the Virūpakkhas; May I have loving-kindness towards the Erāpathas; May I have loving-kindness towards the Chabyāputtas; May I have loving-kindness towards the Kahāgotamakas.
May I have loving-kindness towards footless beings; May I have loving-kindness towards beings with two legs; May I have loving-kindness towards beings with four legs; May I have loving-kindness towards beings with many legs.
May footless beings not harm me; May beings with two legs not harm me; May beings with four legs not harm me; May beings with many legs not harm me.
May all being, all breathing things, all creatures (without exception) meet with good fortune. May none of them com to any evil.
Infinite is the Buddha, Infinite is the Dhamma, Infinite is the Saṅgha. Finite are creeping things: snakes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, lizards, rats.
I have made the protection, I have made the safeguard. May the (harmful) beings depart. I pay homage to te Blessed One; homage to te seven Buddhas (Vipassī Buddha, Sikhī Buddha, Vessabhū Buddha, Kakusandha Buddha, Koṇāgamana Buddha, Kassapa Buddha, Gotama Buddha)

如是我闻:一时,世尊住在王舍城竹林喂松鼠处。
那个时候,具寿马哈摩嘎喇那住在鹫峰山,生病、痛苦、重病。
当时,世尊在傍晚时分从禅坐起来,前往具寿马哈摩嘎喇那之处。去到之后,坐在所敷设的座位上。坐下后,世尊对具寿马哈摩嘎喇那如此说:
“摩嘎喇那,你能忍受吗?能坚持吗?痛苦的感受减退而不会加剧吗?感觉向病愈好转而不会加剧吗?”
“尊者,我不能忍受,不能坚持,我的痛苦感受加重、加剧,没有减退,感觉病情加剧,没有减退。”
“摩嘎喇那,有七觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。哪七种呢?
摩嘎喇那,念觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。
摩嘎喇那,择法觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。
摩嘎喇那,精进觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。
摩嘎喇那,喜觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。
摩嘎喇那,轻安觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。
摩嘎喇那,定觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。
摩嘎喇那,舍觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。
摩嘎喇那,有此七觉支已被我所正说,已修习、多作,导向证智、正觉、涅槃。
“世尊,的确是觉支!善至,的确是觉支!”
世尊如此说。具寿马哈摩嘎喇那满意与欢喜世尊之所说。具寿马哈摩嘎喇那因此病愈,具寿马哈摩嘎喇那的病由此消失。
Thus have I heard:
On one occasion the Blessed One was living near Rajagaha, in the bamboo grove, in the Squirrels' feeding ground. At that time the Venerable Maha Kassapa who was living in the Pipphali Cave, was afflicted with a disease, was suffering therefrom, and was gravely ill.
Then the Blessed One arising from his solitude at eventide visited the Venerable Maha Kassapa and sat down on a seat made ready (for him). Thus seated the Blessed One spoke to the Venerable Maha Kassapa:
"Well Kassapa, how is it with you? Are you bearing up, are you enduring (your suffering)? Do your pains decrease or increase? Are there signs of your pains decreasing and not of increasing?"
"No, Ven. Sir, I am not bearing up, I am not enduring, the pain is very great. There is a sign not of pains decreasing but of their increasing."
"Kassapa, these seven factors of enlightenment are well expounded by me and are cultivated and fully developed by me. They conduce to perfect understanding, to full realization (of the four Noble Truths) and to Nibbana. What are the seven?
i. "Mindfulness, the factor of enlightenment, Kassapa, is well expounded by me, and is cultivated and fully developed by me. It conduces to perfect understanding, to full realization and to Nibbana.
ii. "Investigation of the Dhamma, the factor of enlightenment, Kassapa, is well expounded by me, and is cultivated and fully developed by me. It conduces to perfect understanding, to full realization and to Nibbana.
iii. "Persevering effort, the factor of enlightenment, Kassapa, is well expounded by me and is cultivated and fully developed by me. It conduces to perfect understanding, to full realization and to Nibbana.
iv. "Rapture, the factor of enlightenment, Kassapa, is well expounded by me, and is cultivated and fully developed by me. It conduces to perfect understanding, to full realization and to Nibbana.
v. "Calm, the factor of enlightenment, Kassapa, is well expounded by me, and is cultivated and fully developed by me. It conduces to perfect understanding, to full realization and to Nibbana.
vi. "Concentration, the factor of enlightenment, Kassapa, is well expounded by me, and is cultivated and fully developed by me. It conduces to perfect understanding, to full realization and to Nibbana.
vii. "Equanimity, the factor of enlightenment, Kassapa, is well expounded by me, and is cultivated and fully developed by me. It conduces to perfect understanding, to full realization and to Nibbana.
"These seven factors of enlightenment, Kassapa, are well expounded by me and are cultivated and fully developed by me. They conduce to perfect understanding, to full realization and to Nibbana."
"Most assuredly, O Blessed One, they are factor of enlightenment. Most assuredly, O Welcome Being (Sugata), they are factors of enlightenment."
Thus said the Buddha, and the Venerable Maha Kassapa glad at heart approved the utterances of the Buddha. Thereupon the Venerable Kassapa recovered from that affliction, and that affliction, of the Venerable Kassapa disappeared.



6. Bojjhavga Paritta (觉支经)
Saṁsāre saṁsarantānaṁ, Sabbadukkhavināsane,
Satta dhamme ca Bojjhaṅge, Mārasenāpamaddane,

Bujjhitvā ye cime sattā, Tibhavā muttakuttamā,
Ajāti-majarābyādhiṁ, Amataṁ nibbayaṁ gatā.

Evamādiguṇūpetaṁ, Anekaguṇasaṅgahaṁ,
Osadhañ ca imaṁ mantaṁ,Bojjhaṅgañ ca bhaṇāma he.

Bojjhaṅgo satisaṅkhāto, Dhammānaṁ vicayo tathā,
Vīriyaṁ pīti passaddhi, Bojjhaṅgā ca tathāpare,

Samādhu-pekkhā bojjhaṅga, Sattete sabba-dassinā,
Muninā samma-dakkhātā, Bhāvitā bahulīkatā.

Saṁvattanti abhiññāya, Nibbānāya ca bodhiyā,
Etena sacca-vajjena, Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

Ekasmiṁ samaye Nātho, Moggallānañ ca Kassapaṁ,
Gilāne dukkhite disvā, Bojjhaṅge satta desayi.
Te ca taṁ abhinanditvā, Rogā mucciṁsu taṅkhaṇe.
Etena sacca-vajjena, Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

Ekadā Dhammarājā pi, Gelaññenābhipīḷito,
Cundattherena taṁ yeva, Bhaṇāpetvāna sādaraṁ.

Sammoditvāna ābadhā, Tamhā vuṭṭhāsi ṭhānaso.
Etena sacca-vajjena, Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

Pahīnā te ca ābādhā, Tiṇṇannam pi Mahesinaṁ,
Maggahatā kilesāva, Pattānuppatti-dhammataṁ.
Etena sacca-vajjena, Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

The Discourse on the Factors of Enlightenment
Having known by way of experience the seven kinds of Dhamma called Factors of Enlightenment which destroy all sufferings of beings who wander through this samsara (round of rebirths) and which defeat the army of Mara, the Evil One, these excellent persons were liberated from the
three kinds of existence. They have reached (lit. gone to) Nibbana where there is no rebirth, ageing, disease, death and danger.

O good people! Let us recite this Bojjhaga Sutta which is endowed with the aforementioned attributes, which gives not a few benefits and which is like a medicine and a mantra.
These seven Factors of Enlightenment, namely; mindfulness, investigation of Dhammas, effort (or energy), zest, tranquility, concentration and equanimity,
which are wellexpounded by the All Seeing Sage, promote, when practiced repeatedly, penetration of the Truth, cessation of suffering and knowledge of the Path. By this utterance of truth, may there always be happiness for you.

Once when the Lord saw Moggallana and Kassapa being unwell and suffering, he preached the seven factors of Enlightenment.

They, having rejoiced at the discourse, immediately were freed from the disease. By this utterance of truth, may there always be happiness to you.



Once when the King of the dhamma was oppressed by disease, he had the Venerable Cunda recite the discourse respectfully, and having rejoiced at the discourse was immediately cured of the disease. By this utterance of
truth, may there always be happiness to you.
The disease of the three Great Sages that were eradicated reached the sages of never occuring again like the mental defilements eradicated by the Path. By this utterance of truth, may there always be happiness for you.
