HARD IS RENUNCIATION

  1. Difficult is renunciation, difficult is it to delight therein. Difficult and painful is household life. Painful is association with those who are incompatible. Ill befalls a wayfarer (in saṃsāra). Therefore be not a wayfarer, be not a pursuer of ill.
英譯(Translated from the Pali by Ven. Ācharya Buddharakkhita ) [7] 302. Difficult is life as a monk; difficult is it to delight therein. Also difficult and sorrowful is the household life. Suffering comes from association with unequals; suffering comes from wandering in samsara. Therefore, be not an aimless wanderer, be not a pursuer of suffering.
英譯(Translated from the Pali by Ven. Thanissaro Bhikkhu ) [8]

302

  Hard   is the life gone forth,
  hard   to delight in.
  Hard   is the miserable
     householder's life.
It's painful    to stay with dissonant people,
painful     to travel the road.
  So be  neither traveler
         nor pained.
英譯(Translated from the Pali by Ven. Varado Bhikkhu ) [9]
302
Monastic life is difficult,
Has joy not always found.
The household life is troublesome,
With sorrow it is bound.
It's hard at any residence
To stay there, not to leave.
Thus, cease samsaric wandering,
Or you will pain receive.
英譯(Translated from the Pali by Friedrich Max Müller) [10] 302 It is hard to leave the world (to become a friar), it is hard to enjoy the world; hard is the monastery, painful are the houses; painful it is to dwell with equals (to share everything in common) and the itinerant mendicant is beset with pain. Therefore let no man be an itinerant mendicant and he will not be beset with pain.
英譯(Cited from DLMBS) [12]
DhP 302
It is difficult to become a monk. It is difficult to enjoy it. Unpleasant and difficult to endure is a life of a householder.
Painful is association with unequal. Wanderer in the round of rebirth is always followed by suffering.
Therefore, do not be a wanderer and do not be followed by suffering. [DLMBSFn-V302]

[NāradaFn21-05](Ven. Nārada 21-05) Pitā = (father) represents "I-conceit".
[NāradaFn21-06](Ven. Nārada 21-06) Sānucaraṃ = (revenue officer) here represents clinging to life (nandirāga).
[NāradaFn21-07](Ven. Nārada 21-07) Veyyagghapañcamaṃ, this term is used to denote the five hindrances (nīvaraṇa) of which doubt or indecision (vicikicchā) is the fifth. Veyyaggha means a perilous path infested with tigers. Doubt is comparable to such a path (Commentary). The other four hindrances are: sense-desire (kāmacchanda), ill-will (vyāpāda), restlessness and brooding (uddhacca-kukkucca), and slot and torpor (thīna-middha). They are called hindrances because they obstruct the path to heavenly bliss and Nibbāna.

[ThaniSFn-V293](Ven. Thanissaro V. 293) Mindfulness immersed in the body = the practice of focusing on the body at all times simply as a phenomenon in and of itself, as a way of developing meditative absorption (jhana) and removing any sense of attraction to, distress over, or identification with the body. MN 119 lists the following practices as instances of mindfulness immersed in the body: mindfulness of breathing, awareness of the four postures of the body (standing, sitting, walking, lying down), alertness to all the actions of the body, analysis of the body into its 32 parts, analysis of it into its four properties (earth, water, fire, wind), and contemplation of the body's inevitable decomposition after death.
[ThaniSFn-V294](Ven. Thanissaro V. 294) This verse and the one following it use terms with ambiguous meanings to shock the listener. According to DhpA, mother = craving; father = conceit; two warrior kings = views of eternalism (that one has an identity remaining constant through all time) and of annihilationism (that one is totally annihilated at death); kingdom = the twelve sense spheres (the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, feeling, and ideation, together with their respective objects); dependency = passions for the sense spheres.
[ThaniSFn-V295](Ven. Thanissaro V. 295) DhpA: two learned kings = views of eternalism and annihilationism; a tiger = the path where the tiger goes for food, i.e., the hindrance of uncertainty, or else all five hindrances (sensual desire, ill will, torpor & lethargy, restlessness & anxiety, and uncertainty). However, in Sanskrit literature, "tiger" is a term for a powerful and eminent man; if that is what is meant here, the term may stand for anger.
[ThaniSFn-V299](Ven. Thanissaro V. 299) See note 293.
[ThaniSFn-V301](Ven. Thanissaro V. 301) "Developing the mind" in terms of the 37 Wings to Awakening: the four frames of reference (ardent, mindful alertness to body, feelings, mind states, and mental qualities in and of themselves), the four right exertions (to abandon and avoid evil, unskillful mental qualities, and to foster and strengthen skillful mental qualities), the four bases of power (concentration based on desire, persistence, intentness, and discrimination), the five strengths and five faculties (conviction, persistence, mindfulness, concentration, and discernment), the seven factors for self-awakening (see note 89), and the noble eightfold path (see note 191). For a full treatment of this topic, see The Wings to Awakening.
[ThaniSFn-V303](Ven. Thanissaro V. 303) DhpA: Wealth = both material wealth and the seven forms of noble wealth (ariya-dhana): conviction, virtue, shame, compunction (at the thought of doing evil), erudition, generosity, discernment.
[DLMBSFn-V290]

(DLMBS Commentary V290) Once there was a serious drought in Vesāli. It was followed by a famine and an epidemic of diseases. People of Vesāli tried many ways to ease this situation but nothing seemed to work. Finally, they sent messengers to the Buddha, asking him to go to Vesāli. The Buddha accepted.

As soon as he with a large group of monks reached Vesāli there was a heavy rainfall, which cleaned the city. The Buddha recited a text called Ratana Sutta and instructed the monks to go around the city and recite the same text for seven days. After seven days, everything in Vesāli returned to normal. People of the city were very grateful to the Buddha and since that day, the Buddha had a large group of followers in Vesāli. The Ratana Sutta is used for protection even today.

[DLMBSFn-V291]

(DLMBS Commentary V291) Once there lived a woman who kept a hen. The hen would lay one egg every day and the woman would break it and eat it. The hen was very angry because of that and started hating the woman. As a result of his, they were always reborn together causing pain to each other.

During the time of the Buddha, one of them was born as a woman and the other one as an ogress. Once the woman with her husband and son were on their way home from a visit to relatives. Her husband went to take a bath and she rested with her son by the roadside. At that moment, the ogress appeared and attacked her. The woman took her son and ran to the monastery for refuge.

There the Buddha told them the whole story and asked them to stop hating each other, for otherwise they would never be free. He told them this verse to make them understand his meaning. Both of them realized the futility of hatred and agreed not to harm each other from then on.

[DLMBSFn-V292]

(DLMBS Commentary V292) In Bhaddiya there was a monastery with many monks. There was a sort of competition amongst these monks: who will make more beautiful ornamental slippers to wear. As a result of this, they neglected their meditation and they made no progress in spiritual matters.

The matter was reported to the Buddha who admonished the monks from Bhaddiya. He told them this verse (and the following one, DhP 293). The monks realized the error of their ways and from that time on strove diligently to reach the Awakenment.

[DLMBSFn-V293]

(DLMBS Commentary V293) The story for this verse is identical with the one for the previous verse (DhP 292).

These two verses are reminding us that we should not loose the vision of the final goal. If we spend most of our time trying to make "more and more beautiful slippers", then we have no time to practice in order to reach the goal. Only by diligently putting all of our effort into the practice, by staying mindful all of the time, can we hope to erase our taints and reach the Awakenment.

[DLMBSFn-V294]

(DLMBS Commentary V294) Once a group of monks visited the Buddha. While they were paying their respects, the monk Lakunṭaka Bhaddiya, who was an Arahant, passed by. The Buddha told the monks this verse (and the following one, DhP 295). He told the monks to look at Lakunṭaka Bhaddiya: he was a monk who has killed his parents, and kings, indeed the whole country; and yet he was walking calmly, without remorse.

The monks could not understand what the Buddha was talking about! Surely this Arahant had killed nobody! Then the Buddha had to explain: "mother" means craving, "father" is conceit, "two warrior kings" are views of eternalism and nihilism, "the country" are sense-organs and sense-objects and the "followers" are attachment and lust.

[DLMBSFn-V295]

(DLMBS Commentary V295) The story for this verse is identical with the story for the previous one (DhP 294).

Here, the Brahmin kings are a simile for two extreme views. The "tiger as fifth" is taken to mean the five mental hindrances. These are: sense-desire (kāmacchanda), ill-will (vyāpāda), sloth and torpor (thīna-middha), restlessness and scruples (uddhacca-kukkucca) and skeptical doubt (vicikicchā).

[DLMBSFn-V296]

(DLMBS Commentary V296) In the city of Rājagaha there lived a woodcutter. One day he took he and his son went to the forest to cut some wood. On the way back they stopped by a cemetery and ate their meal. While they were eating, their two oxen wandered away from them. When they realized this, the father went to search for the oxen and told the son to stay with the cart. The father found the oxen on the city but by that time the city gates were closed and he could not leave the city.

The boy stayed outside by himself. He crawled under the cart and slept. At night, two spirits came and tried to frighten him. The boy cried, "I pay homage to the Buddha". The spirits immediately felt they had to protect the boy. One of them went to the palace of King Bimbisāra and brought the king's food tray full of food. The boy ate and then slept until morning. The spirits left a message for the king written on the food tray (but only the king could read it).

In the morning the king's servants started to look for the tray. Finally they found it with the boy. They thought he stole it therefore they took him to the king. The king found the note on the tray and realized that this case was not easy. The boy kept telling them his parents came to him in the sleep and fed him. The king then sent for his parents who said they slept at home.

The king decided and took all of them to see the Buddha. The Buddha explained what happened. The king then asked if mindfulness directed to the Buddha is the only way to guard against danger. The Buddha further explained by six verses (this one and the following five, DhP 297 - DhP 301) that mindfulness in general is the way to guard against danger.

[DLMBSFn-V297]

(DLMBS Commentary V297) The story for this verse is identical with the one for the previous verse (DhP 296) and the four following ones (DhP 298 - DhP 301).

Recollection of the qualities of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha is one of the most favorite meditation subjects in the meditation of insight (vipassanā).

[DLMBSFn-V298](DLMBS Commentary V298) The story for this verse is identical with the one for the previous verses (DhP 296, DhP 297) and the following ones (DhP 299 - DhP 301).
[DLMBSFn-V299]

(DLMBS Commentary V299) The story for this verse is identical with the one for the previous verses (DhP 296, DhP 297 and DhP 298) and the following ones (DhP 300 and DhP 301).

This is perhaps the most important and most usual form of meditation - mindfulness of the body. We are trying to be mindful of all bodily movements, of breath, of every posture and intentions to move. There is one whole text in the Pali Buddhist Canon (Satipaṭṭhāna-sutta) dealing with this meditation.

[DLMBSFn-V300]

(DLMBS Commentary V300) The story for this verse is identical with the one for the previous verses (DhP 296, DhP 297, DhP 298 and DhP 299) and the following one (DhP 301).

Non-violence is also one very important factor in Buddhist meditation. Active non-violence is also called mettā (loving-kindness). We should practice the meditation of loving-kindness at the end of every meditation session.

[DLMBSFn-V301]

(DLMBS Commentary V301) The story for this verse is identical with the one for the previous verses (DhP 296 - DhP 300).

The forms of meditation described in the previous five verses are the most important in Buddhist practice. By following all of them, by devoting our minds to meditation day and night, we can truly hope to achieve the Awakenment and be free from suffering.

[DLMBSFn-V302]

(DLMBS Commentary V302) Once there was a big festival in Vesāli. The city was lit up and full of happy people, everybody was singing and dancing. A young monk in the monastery saw the festival from a distance and felt dissatisfied with his life as a monk. He complained aloud that he has the worst lot in the whole world. At that instant, a guardian spirit appeared and told the monk that as those in hells envy those in heaven, so do people from the city envy the monks in the forest. The monk realized the truth.

In the morning he told this story to the Buddha, who admonished him with this verse, further adding that the monk should reflect on the impermanence and pain in the lives of all beings.

[DLMBSFn-V303]

(DLMBS Commentary V303) Venerable Sāriputta had a lay disciple named Citta. Although he was not a monk he attained the third level of Awakenment. Once he came to Sāvatthi in order to pay his respects to the Buddha. He came with a caravan, many carts loaded with food and other goods. He stayed in the monastery many days, continually making offerings to the Buddha and monks. But still his goods did not diminish one bit.

The day before he had to leave for his hometown, Citta offered all of his goods to the Community. But his carts were immediately full again! The gods filled them up with various priceless things. Venerable Ānanda reported this to the Buddha. He replied with this verse, saying that somebody as Citta will be revered wherever he goes.

[DLMBSFn-V304]

(DLMBS Commentary V304) Anātha Piṇḍika and Ugga both studied under the same teacher while they were young. Later Anātha Piṇḍika had a daughter and Ugga had a son. When the children grew up, their parents arranged their marriage. The daughter of Anātha Piṇḍika, named Cūla Subhaddā went to live with her husband and parents-in-law.

Ugga and his family were not followers of the Buddha, but they were disciples of different ascetic school (called "naked ascetics", because the monks did not wear any clothes). Cūla Subhaddā told her mother-in-law about the Buddha and she was anxious to see him. She agreed to invite the Buddha for the almsfood the next day. Because the Jetavana monastery was far away, Cūla Subhaddā made the invitation only with her heart. But the Buddha knew and accepted the invitation.

At that day, Anātha Piṇḍika went to the monastery and invited the Buddha to have almsfood in his house the next day. But the Buddha replied that he had already accepted Cūla Subhaddā's invitation. Anātha Piṇḍika asked how was it possible if his daughter lived so far away. The Buddha replied with this verse, saying that the good ones can be seen and heard from far away.

The next day, the Buddha with many monks went to the house of Ugga. After the meal, he delivered a discourse. The whole Ugga's family became followers of the Buddha.

[DLMBSFn-V305](DLMBS Commentary V305) Venerable Ekavihāri used to live alone, eat alone and meditating in solitude. He did not like to keep company of other monks. Some monks did not understand why he did so and reported the matter to the Buddha. The Buddha praised Ekavihāri and spoke this verse about how good it is for a monk to concentrate on meditation in seclusion.
