The Brahman Sutta of Zanutsana

The Brahman Sutta of Zanutsana 

Introduction to Thavatti

            Then in the morning the Venerable Sariputta, having prepared his robe, brought the bowl robe, and entered Savatthi for alms. The Venerable Arnanda saw the brahmin Zanusani coming out of Savatthi in an all-white chariot. The stallions are white; The chariots are white; The chariot is white; There is also a white surround. The cords are white; The rod is white; The umbrella is white; The girdle is white; The clothes are white; The shoes are white; He is made of white thread; Many people saw the train and said, “What a wonderful train! It is like a Brahmin vehicle.”

            Then the Venerable Arnanda, wandering from Savatthi, after giving alms, departed from the almshouse, approached the Blessed One, sat down to one side, paid homage to the Blessed One, and addressed the Blessed One:

            This morning, Venerable Sir, I put on my robe, took my bowl robe, and went to Savatthi for alms. “Venerable Sir, I saw the brahmin Zanusani coming out of Savatthi in a chariot of all white horses. The stallions are white; The chariots are white; The chariot is white. There is also a white background. The cords are white; The rod is white; The umbrella is white. The robe is white. The clothes are white; The shoes are white; I sewed it with white thread. Many people saw the train and said, “What a wonderful train! You are like a Brahmin vehicle. ” In this Dhamma and Discipline, Venerable Sir, is it possible to enjoin the Brahman vehicle? ”

            The Blessed One said, “Arnanda is capable." This is the name Arnanda Brahman. This is the name of the Dhamma vehicle. This is the name of the Noble Eightfold Path, the vehicle that can win the battle without imitation.

Arnanda: When “Right Concentration” is cultivated and practiced many times, the cessation of lust or craving has an end. There is an end with the abolition of anger. There is an end with the abolition of ignorance.

Arnanda; This is the name Brahman. This is also called Dhammayana. This is the name given to the Noble Eightfold Path, the name of the vehicle that can win the battle without lust, and the name of the Noble Eightfold Path. The Blessed One, who speaks well, has spoken this Dhamma and then recited these verses:

“The Magga-chariot, on which the two teachings of faith and wisdom are always attached to the yoke of equanimity. Shame is the sound of a train; The mind of Vipassana is bound. 'Mindfulness' keeps the chariot guarded.

The chariot has an instrument called virtuous behavior or morality. There is the axis of jhana. There is a wheel called viriya. Evemindedness stabilizes the head of a chariot. Anit-craving is a shield.

The desire for non-destruction “Abyapada”, the non-violence “Avihinsa”, the tranquility “Viveka” are the weapons of one who dwells in the Magen chariot. Patience is an armor; He who is in the chariot of Magga looks forward to the end of yoga.

The wise, after riding on that magnificent chariot, which is innate in their minds, have truly conquered all victories and escaped from the world. 

THE END.
