अविद्या

“अविद्या के हो, अविद्याको उत्पत्ति के हो, अविद्याको निरोध के हो, अविद्याको निरोधतर्फ लैजाने मार्ग के हो? दुःखलाई नजान्नु, दुःखको उत्पत्तिलाई नजान्नु, दुःखको निरोधलाई नजान्नु, दुःखको निरोधतर्फ लैजाने मार्गलाई नजान्नु—यसलाई अविद्या भनिन्छ। आस्रव उत्पन्न हुँदा अविद्या उत्पन्न हुन्छ; आस्रवको निरोध हुँदा अविद्याको निरोध हुन्छ। अविद्याको निरोधतर्फ लैजाने मार्ग यही आर्य अष्टाङ्गिक मार्ग हो; अर्थात् सम्यग्दृष्टि… सम्यक्समाधि।”

"And what is ignorance, what is the origin of ignorance, what is the cessation of ignorance, what is the way leading to the cessation of ignorance? Not knowing about dukkha, not knowing about the origin of dukkha, not knowing about the cessation of dukkha, not knowing about the way leading to the cessation of dukkha — this is called ignorance. With the arising of the taints there is the arising of ignorance; with the cessation of the taints there is the cessation of ignorance. The way leading to the cessation of ignorance is just this Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view... right concentration."

“आस्रवहरू के हुन्, आस्रवहरूको उत्पत्ति के हो, आस्रवहरूको निरोध के हो, आस्रवहरूको निरोधतर्फ लैजाने मार्ग के हो? तीन आस्रव छन्: कामको आस्रव, भवको आस्रव र अविद्याको आस्रव। अविद्या उत्पन्न हुँदा आस्रवहरू उत्पन्न हुन्छन्। अविद्याको निरोध हुँदा आस्रवहरूको निरोध हुन्छ। आस्रवहरूको निरोधतर्फ लैजाने मार्ग यही आर्य अष्टाङ्गिक मार्ग हो; अर्थात् सम्यग्दृष्टि… सम्यक्समाधि।”

"And what are the taints, what is the origin of the taints, what is the cessation of the taints, what is the way leading to the cessation of the taints? There are three taints: the taint of sensual desire, the taint of being and the taint of ignorance. With the arising of ignorance there is the arising of the taints. With the cessation of ignorance there is the cessation of the taints. The way leading to the cessation of the taints is just this Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view... right concentration."

“अविद्या प्रत्यय हुँदा संस्कार उत्पन्न हुन्छन्। संस्कारबाट… विज्ञान उत्पन्न हुन्छ। विज्ञानबाट… नामरूप। नामरूपबाट… छ इन्द्रियायतन। छ इन्द्रियायतनबाट… स्पर्श। स्पर्शबाट… वेदना। वेदनाबाट… तृष्णा। तृष्णाबाट… उपादान—समातिराख्ने र पोषण दिने प्रक्रिया। उपादानबाट… भव। भवबाट… जन्म। जन्म प्रत्यय हुँदा जरा र मृत्यु, शोक, विलाप, शारीरिक पीडा, मानसिक व्यथा र हताशा उत्पन्न हुन्छन्। यसरी यो सम्पूर्ण दुःखराशि उत्पन्न हुन्छ।

"From ignorance as a requisite condition come fabrications. From fabrications... comes consciousness. From consciousness... name-&-form. From name-&-form... the six sense media. From the six sense media... contact. From contact... feeling. From feeling...craving. From craving... clinging/sustenance. From clinging/sustenance... becoming. From becoming... birth. From birth as a requisite condition, then aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair come into play. Such is the origination of this entire mass of stress & suffering.

“अब त्यही अविद्याको अशेष विराग र निरोधबाट संस्कारको निरोध हुन्छ। संस्कारको निरोधबाट विज्ञानको निरोध हुन्छ। विज्ञानको निरोधबाट नामरूपको निरोध हुन्छ। नामरूपको निरोधबाट छ इन्द्रियायतनको निरोध हुन्छ। छ इन्द्रियायतनको निरोधबाट स्पर्शको निरोध हुन्छ। स्पर्शको निरोधबाट वेदनाको निरोध हुन्छ। वेदनाको निरोधबाट तृष्णाको निरोध हुन्छ। तृष्णाको निरोधबाट उपादानको निरोध हुन्छ। उपादानको निरोधबाट भवको निरोध हुन्छ। भवको निरोधबाट जन्मको निरोध हुन्छ। जन्मको निरोधबाट जरा र मृत्यु, शोक, विलाप, शारीरिक पीडा, मानसिक व्यथा र हताशा सबैको निरोध हुन्छ। यसरी यो सम्पूर्ण दुःखराशिको निरोध हुन्छ।”

"Now from the remainderless fading & cessation of that very ignorance comes the cessation of fabrications. From the cessation of fabrications comes the cessation of consciousness. From the cessation of consciousness comes the cessation of name-&-form. From the cessation of name-&-form comes the cessation of the six sense media. From the cessation of the six sense media comes the cessation of contact. From the cessation of contact comes the cessation of feeling. From the cessation of feeling comes the cessation of craving. From the cessation of craving comes the cessation of clinging/sustenance. From the cessation of clinging/sustenance comes the cessation of becoming. From the cessation of becoming comes the cessation of birth. From the cessation of birth, then aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair all cease. Such is the cessation of this entire mass of stress & suffering."
