Giving Up Pahānasutta

ā€œMendicants, the spiritual life is lived to give up and cut out these seven fetters. ā€œSattannaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁyojanānaṁ pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati. What seven? Katamesaṁ sattannaṁ? The fetters of attraction, repulsion, views, doubt, conceit, desire to be reborn, and ignorance. Anunayasaṁyojanassa pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati, paį¹­ighasaṁyojanassa …pe… diį¹­į¹­hisaṁyojanassa … vicikicchāsaṁyojanassa … mānasaṁyojanassa … bhavarāgasaṁyojanassa … avijjāsaṁyojanassa pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati. The spiritual life is lived to give up and cut out these seven fetters. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, sattannaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati. When a mendicant has given up the fetters of attraction, repulsion, views, doubt, conceit, desire to be reborn, and ignorance—cut them off at the root, made them like a palm stump, obliterated them, so they are unable to arise in the future—Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno anunayasaṁyojanaṁ pahÄ«naṁ hoti ucchinnamÅ«laṁ tālāvatthukataṁ anabhāvaį¹…kataṁ āyatiṁ anuppādadhammaṁ. Paį¹­ighasaṁyojanaṁ …pe… diį¹­į¹­hisaṁyojanaṁ … vicikicchāsaṁyojanaṁ … mānasaṁyojanaṁ … bhavarāgasaṁyojanaṁ … avijjāsaṁyojanaṁ pahÄ«naṁ hoti ucchinnamÅ«laṁ tālāvatthukataṁ anabhāvaį¹…kataṁ āyatiṁ anuppādadhammaṁ. they’re called a mendicant who has cut off craving, cast off the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering.ā€ Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, bhikkhu acchecchi taṇhaṁ, vivattayi saṁyojanaṁ, sammā mānābhisamayā antamakāsi dukkhassÄā€ti.
