The Blessed One explains the two principles of explaining the Dhamma - 1) ‘See harm as harm’ and 2) ‘Having seen harm as harm, become disenchanted with it, become detached from it, and be released from it.’
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, as I have heard:
“Tathāgatassa, bhikkhave, arahato sammāsambuddhassa dve dhammadesanā pariyāyena bhavanti. Katamā dve? ‘Pāpaṁ pāpakato passathā’ti— ayaṁ paṭhamā dhammadesanā; ‘pāpaṁ pāpakato disvā tattha nibbindatha virajjatha vimuccathā’ti— ayaṁ dutiyā dhammadesanā. Tathāgatassa, bhikkhave, arahato sammāsambuddhassa imā dve dhammadesanā pariyāyena bhavantī”ti.
“Bhikkhus, for the Tathāgata, the Arahant, the perfectly Awakened One, there are two principles of explaining the Dhamma. What are the two? 1) ‘See |harm::evil, wrong, worthless, bad [pāpaka]| as harm’ — this is the first principle; and 2) ‘Having seen harm as harm, become |disenchanted with::disillusioned with [nibbindati]| it, become |dispassionate toward::detached from [virajjati]| it, and be |released from::freed from [vimuccati]| it’ — this is the second principle.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Tathāgatassa buddhassa,
sabbabhūtānukampino;
Pariyāyavacanaṁ passa,
dve ca dhammā pakāsitā.
“Of the Tathāgata, the Buddha,
who is compassionate towards all beings;
See the two principles,
of explaining the Dhamma.
Pāpakaṁ passatha cetaṁ,
tattha cāpi virajjatha;
Tato virattacittāse,
dukkhassantaṁ karissathā”ti.
See this harm [for what it is],
and become disenchanted with it;
With a mind free from attachment,
you will bring an end of |suffering::mild suffering, intense suffering, discomfort, pain, disease, unpleasantness, stress, discontentment, dissatisfaction [dukkhassa]|.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
