1 At one time the Auspicious One lived among the Sumbhas, in a market town named Setaka. Then the venerable Udayi visited with the Auspicious One. Upon arrival, he bowed down to the Auspicious One and sat down to one side. Having sat down to one side, the venerable Udayi said this to the Auspicious One: It is marvellous, O Bhante. It is unprecedented, O Bhante, how profitable, O Bhante, my affection, reverence, moral dignity and moral dread for the Auspicious One has been. Indeed O Bhante, formerly while being a householder, I did not profit by the Dhamma, did not profit by the Sangha. [It is profitable] that indeed I, O Bhante, considering my affection, reverence, moral dignity and moral dread for the Auspicious One, went forth from the house [life] into homelessness; [profitable] that for me, the Auspicious One taught the Dhamma [thus]: “Such is form, such is form's arising, such is form's disappearance, such is feeling, such is feeling's arising, such is feeling's disappearance, such is perception, such is perception's arising, such is perception's disappearance, such are sankharas, such are sankharas' arising, such are sankharas' disappearance, such is consciousness, such is consciousness's arising, such is consciousness's disappearance;” [profitable] that indeed I, O Bhante, gone to an empty hut, setting in motion the restoration and inversion in these five appropriable khandhas, understood with supreme knowledge as it has come to be: “This is suffering;” understood with supreme knowledge as it has come to be: “This is the origination of suffering;” understood with supreme knowledge as it has come to be: “This is the cessation of suffering;” understood with supreme knowledge as it has come to be: “This is the path leading to the cessation of suffering.”

2 The breakthrough to the Dhamma has been made by me, O Bhante, and the path has been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.” The awakening factor of mindfulness, O Bhante, has been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.” The awakening factor of investigation of dhammas, O Bhante, has been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.” The awakening factor of energy, O Bhante, has been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.” The awakening factor of happiness, O Bhante, has been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.” The awakening factor of tranquility, O Bhante, has been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.” The awakening factor of samadhi, O Bhante, has been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.” The awakening factor of equanimity, O Bhante, has been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.” This, O Bhante, is the path having been obtained by me which when enculturated and made abundant by me dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [me] onwards to the state of being thus, as I will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.”

3 Good, good Udayi. This indeed, O Udayi, is the path having been obtained by you which when enculturated and made abundant by you dwelling in the appropriate way, will lead [you] onwards to the state of being thus, as you will understand: “Destroyed is birth, lived is the life of purity, done is what had to be done, there is nothing else for thusness.”
