Chapter Two 2. Dutiyavagga

In a Good Way Sukhitasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

ā€œMendicants, this transmigration has no known beginning. … ā€œAnamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro …pe… When you see someone in a good way, in a happy state, you should conclude: yaṁ, bhikkhave, passeyyātha sukhitaṁ susajjitaṁ, niį¹­į¹­hamettha gantabbaṁ: ā€˜In all this long time, we too have undergone the same thing.’ ā€˜amhehipi evarÅ«paṁ paccanubhÅ«taṁ iminā dÄ«ghena addhunā’ti.

Why is that? Taṁ kissa hetu? This transmigration has no known beginning. … Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro. Pubbā koį¹­i na paƱƱāyati …pe… This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.ā€ alaṁ vimuccitunā€ti.
