Where the Waters Flow Together (1st)
“သေယျထာပိ, ဘိက္ခဝေ, ယတ္ထိမာ မဟာနဒိယော သံသန္ဒန္တိ သမေန္တိ, သေယျထိဒံ—ဂင်္ဂါ, ယမုနာ, အစိရဝတီ, သရဘူ, မဟီ, တတော ပုရိသော ဒွေ ဝါ တီဏိ ဝါ ဥဒကဖုသိတာနိ ဥဒ္ဓရေယျ၊
“Bhikkhus, there are places where the great rivers—the Ganges, Yamuna, Aciravatī, Sarabhū, and Mahī—come together and converge. Suppose a person was to draw two or three drops of water from such a place.
တံ ကိံ မညထ, ဘိက္ခဝေ, ကတမံ နု ခေါ ဗဟုတရံ—ယာနိ ဒွေ ဝါ တီဏိ ဝါ ဥဒကဖုသိတာနိ ဥဗ္ဘတာနိ, ယံ ဝါ သမ္ဘေဇ္ဇော်ဒကန်”တိ?
What do you think, bhikkhus? Which is more: the two or three drops drawn out or the water in the confluence?”
“ဧတဒေဝ, ဘန္တေ, ဗဟုတရံ, ယဒိဒံ—သံဘေဇ္ဇော်ဒကံ; အပ္ပမတ္တကာနိ ဒွေ ဝါ တီဏိ ဝါ ဥဒကဖုသိတာနိ ဥဗ္ဘတာနိ၊ သင်္ခမ္ပိ န ဥပေန္တိ, ဥပနိဓမ္ပိ န ဥပေန္တိ, ကလဘာဂမ္ပိ န ဥပေန္တိ သံဘေဇ္ဇော်ဒကံ ဥပနိဓာယ ဒွေ ဝါ တီဏိ ဝါ ဥဒကဖုသိတာနိ ဥဗ္ဘတာနီ”တိ၊
“Sir, the water in the confluence is certainly more. The two or three drops drawn out are tiny. Compared to the water in the confluence, it doesn’t count, there’s no comparison, it’s not worth a fraction.”
“ဧဝမေဝ ခေါ, ဘိက္ခဝေ, အရိယသာဝကဿ …ပေ…
“In the same way, for a noble disciple …
ယောဂေါ ကရဏီယော”တိ၊
That’s why you should practice meditation …”
