Nibbāna Sutta: Parinibbana (2)

Summary: url=index.html#ud.8.02.irel On the nature of Nibbana.

Ud 8.2

PTS: Ud 80

Nibbāna Sutta: Parinibbana (2)

translated from the Pali by

John D. Ireland

Alternate translation: Thanissaro

Thus have I heard. At one time the Lord was staying near Savatthi in the Jeta Wood at Anathapindika's monastery. On that occasion the Lord was instructing… the bhikkhus with a Dhamma talk connected with Nibbana, and those bhikkhus… were intent on listening to Dhamma.

Then, on realizing its significance, the Lord uttered on that occasion this inspired utterance:

The uninclined is hard to see, The truth is not easy to see; Craving is penetrated by one who knows, For one who sees there is nothing.
