[The noble eightfold path] leads to great safety

Disputes have but two fruits, I declare [i.e. jubilation and dejection]. Seeing this, you should not dispute. Recognise that safety is a state that is without dispute.

Those are not safe refuges. Those are not the supreme refuge.

Netaṁ kho saraṇaṁ khemaṁ netaṁ saraṇamuttamaṁ. (Dhp 189)

Just as a man, laden with wealth and riches, might travel on a desert road where food was scarce and danger abounded, and after a time he would cross the desert and arrive at the edge of a village, safe and free of danger.

Seyyathā pi mahārāja puriso sadhano sabhogo kantāraddhānamaggaṁ paṭipajjeyya dubbhikkhaṁ sappaṭibhayaṁ. So aparena samayena taṁ kantāraṁ nitthareyya sotthinā gāmantaṁ anupāpuṇeyya khemaṁ appaṭibhayaṁ ti. (DN i 73)

khemo

khemo: (main article see: khema)

Illustration: khemo, safety

Two trains of thought often occur to the Perfect One, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One: the thought of [others’] safety and the thought of physical seclusion.

Tathāgataṁ bhikkhave arahantaṁ sammāsambuddhaṁ dve vitakkā bahulaṁ samudācaranti khemo ca vitakko paviveko ca. (Iti 31)

Comment:

Parenthesising ‘others’ is justified by the two sentences that follow:

• The Perfect One takes pleasure and delight in non-hostility. In doing so, this thought often occurs: ‘By this behaviour I harm no one at all, whether weak or strong.’

Avyāpajjhārāmo bhikkhave tathāgato avyāpajjharato. Tamenaṁ bhikkhave tathāgataṁ avyāpajjhārāmaṁ avyāpajjharataṁ esova vitakko bahulaṁ samudācarati: imāyāhaṁ irīyāya na kiñci vyābādhemi tasaṁ vā thāvaraṁ vā ti. (Iti 31)

For one who is imperturbable, for one who understands [the teaching], there is no accumulated merit or demerit. Abstaining from [karmically consequential] endeavours, he sees safety everywhere.

Anejassa vijānato natthi kāci nisaṅkhiti
Virato so viyārambhā khemaṁ passati sabbadhi. (Snp 953)
