Mirror – Dhammadīpa

“I abandoned the five hindrances
So I could realise security from the yoke;
And I picked up the Dhamma as a mirror,
For knowing and seeing myself.

“I checked over this body
All of it, inside and out.
Internally and externally,
My body looked vacant.” – Thag 2.26

“Pañca nīvaraṇe hitvā,
yogakkhemassa pattiyā;
Dhammādāsaṁ gahetvāna,
ñāṇadassanamattano.

“Paccavekkhiṁ imaṁ kāyaṁ,
sabbaṁ santarabāhiraṁ;
Ajjhattañca bahiddhā ca,
tuccho kāyo adissathā”ti.

“Sau khi từ bỏ năm pháp che lấp nhằm đạt đến sự an toàn khỏi các ràng buộc, sau khi cầm lấy cái gương soi Giáo Pháp có sự biết và thấy được bản thân, …

… tôi đã quán xét cái thân thể này, toàn bộ bên trong lẫn bên ngoài, của bản thân và của người khác; thân đã được thấy là rỗng không.”

ငါသည် နီဝရဏငါးပါးတို့ကို ပယ်စွန့်ဖျက်ဆီး၍ ယောဂလေးပါးတို့သည် မနှိပ်စက်အပ်သော နိဗ္ဗန်ကို ရခြင်း ရောက်ခြင်းငှါ မိမိ၏ဉာဏ် အမြင်ဖြစ်သော တရားတည်းဟူသော မှန်ကြေးမုံကို ယူ၍ အဇ္ဈတ္တိကာယတန ဗာဟိရာယတနနှင့်တကွဖြစ်သော ဤကိုယ်အားလုံးကို ဉာဏ်ဖြင့် ရှုဆစ်ဖြင်ခဲ့ပြီ၊

ဤသို့ ရှုဆင်ခြင်သော ငါ့အား မိမိသန္တာန်၌၎င်း သူတပါးသန္တာန်၌၎င်းဖြစ်သော ခန္ဓာငါးပါးဟူသော အတ္တဘောသည် နိစ္စ သုခစသည်တို့မှ အချည်းနှီးဖြစ်၍ ဉာဏ်၌ ထင်လာ၏။

為達安穩地，
捨棄五障蓋，
我取法之鏡，
見己之知見。

我身之內外，
一一為觀察，
觀我內外身，
一切皆空虛。
