Upasenasutta

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.

Atha kho āyasmato upasenassa vaṅgantaputtassa rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi:

“lābhā vata me, suladdhaṁ vata me,

satthā ca me bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho;

svākkhāte camhi dhammavinaye agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajito;

sabrahmacārino ca me sīlavanto kalyāṇadhammā;

sīlesu camhi paripūrakārī;

susamāhito camhi ekaggacitto;

arahā camhi khīṇāsavo;

mahiddhiko camhi mahānubhāvo.

Bhaddakaṁ me jīvitaṁ, bhaddakaṁ maraṇan”ti.

Atha kho bhagavā āyasmato upasenassa vaṅgantaputtassa cetasā cetoparivitakkamaññāya tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:

“Yaṁ jīvitaṁ na tapati,

maraṇante na socati;

Sa ve diṭṭhapado dhīro,

sokamajjhe na socati.

Ucchinnabhavataṇhassa,

santacittassa bhikkhuno;

Vikkhīṇo jātisaṁsāro,

natthi tassa punabbhavo”ti.

Navamaṁ.
