“Orimañca, bhikkhave, tīraṁ desessāmi pārimañca tīraṁ.

Taṁ suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.

Bhagavā etadavoca:

“Katamañca, bhikkhave, orimaṁ tīraṁ, katamañca pārimaṁ tīraṁ?

Micchādiṭṭhi orimaṁ tīraṁ, sammādiṭṭhi pārimaṁ tīraṁ …pe…

micchāvimutti orimaṁ tīraṁ, sammāvimutti pārimaṁ tīraṁ.

Idaṁ kho, bhikkhave, orimaṁ tīraṁ, idaṁ pārimaṁ tīranti.

Appakā te manussesu,

ye janā pāragāmino;

Athāyaṁ itarā pajā,

tīramevānudhāvati.

Ye ca kho sammadakkhāte,

dhamme dhammānuvattino;

Te janā pāramessanti,

maccudheyyaṁ suduttaraṁ.

Kaṇhaṁ dhammaṁ vippahāya,

sukkaṁ bhāvetha paṇḍito;

Okā anokamāgamma,

viveke yattha dūramaṁ.

Tatrābhiratimiccheyya,

hitvā kāme akiñcano;

Pariyodapeyya attānaṁ,

cittaklesehi paṇḍito.

Yesaṁ sambodhiyaṅgesu,

sammā cittaṁ subhāvitaṁ;

Ādānapaṭinissagge,

anupādāya ye ratā;

Khīṇāsavā jutimanto,

te loke parinibbutā”ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.

“Monks, I shall point out the nearest shore and the farthest shore. Hear this, and thoroughly attend to it in mind. I shall speak.”

“Just so, Venerable One,” the monks assented to the Blessed One.

“What, monks, is the nearest shore; what is the farthest shore?

“Wrong view is the nearest shore; right view is the farthest shore;

“Wrong intention is the nearest shore; right intention is the farthest shore;
wrong speech is the nearest shore; right speech is the farthest shore;
wrong conduct is the nearest shore; right conduct is the farthest shore;
wrong livelihood is the nearest shore; right livelihood is the farthest shore;
wrong effort is the nearest shore; right effort is the farthest shore;
wrong mindfulness is the nearest shore; right mindfulness is the farthest shore;
wrong concentration is the nearest shore; right concentration is the farthest shore;
wrong knowledge is the nearest shore; right knowledge is the farthest shore;
wrong liberation is the nearest shore; right liberation is the farthest shore.

“This, monks, is the nearest shore; this is the farthest shore.

“Amongst humans, very few are they,
those mortals going to the farthest shore;
Rather, the rest of humankind
runs just along this shore.

Those who, indeed, practise in the Dhamma,
in the well-taught Dhamma,
They are mortals who will go beyond
the sway of death, so difficult to escape.

Renouncing the dark qualities,
the wise person should cultivate the bright;
From home, having come to homelessness,
in seclusion, where delight is difficult,

One should wish to feel delight there,
having destroyed sensuality, a person of nothing.
The wise person should purify himself
from the defilements of the mind.

Those with mind rightly well-cultivated
in the qualities of perfect awakening,
Who, in the giving-up of grasping,
without clinging, are delighted,
The brilliant ones, with unconscious influences withered away,
they, in the world, are completely unbound.”
