Ratana Sutta

Jewels Discourse

English Version

Pali Version

Whatever beings are here assembled, whether terrestial or celestial, may all these beings be happy and listen closely to my words. Pay attention all you beings: show kindness to the humans who day and night bring you offerings Therefore guard them diligently. Whatever treasure is here or beyond, or the precious jewel in the heavens, none is equal to the Perfect One. In the Buddha is this precious jewel. By this truth may there be well-being. The calm Sakyan sage found cessation, dispassion, the deathless, the sublime; there is nothing equal to that state. In the Dhamma is this precious jewel By this truth may there be well-being. That purity praised by the Supreme Buddha, called concentration with immediate result - that concentration has no equal. In the Dhamma is this precious jewel. By this truth may there The eight persons praised by the good, these four pairs are the gift-worthy disciples of the Well-gone One - -gifts to them yield abundant fruit. In the Sangha is this precious jewel. By this truth may there be well-being. With firm minds applying themselves to Gotama's teaching, passionless, they reach the goal; plunged in the deathless, they enjoy supreme peace. In the Sangha is this precious jewel, By the truth may there be well-being. As a firm post grounded in the earth cannot be shaken by the four winds, so is the superior person, I say, who definitely sees the Noble Truths. In the Sangha is this precious jewel, By the truth may there be well-being. Those who comprehend the Noble Truths taught well by Him of deep wisdom, even if they are very negligent, do not take an eighth existence. In the Sangha is this precious jewel, By the truth may there be well-being. For one who has attained to vision three states are at once abandoned - - view of self, doubt, and clinging to needless rules and rituals. Freed from the four states of misery He cannot do six kinds of evil deeds. In the Sangha is this precious jewel, By the truth may there be well-being. Though he might do some evil deed by body, speech, or mind, he cannot hide it; such is impossible for one who has seen the Path. In the Sangha is this precious jewel, By the truth may there be well-being. Like woodland groves in blossom in the first heat of the summertime is the sublime Dhamma that he taught leading to Nibbana, the highest good. In the Buddha is this precious jewel. By this truth may there be well-being. He, the Supreme Sublime One, Knower, Giver and Bringer of the Sublime, taught the Sublime Dhamma. In the Buddha is this precious jewel, By the truth may there be well-being. Their past is extinct with no new arising, their minds not drawn to future birth; Their old seeds destroyed, desires no more growing, the wise go out just like this lamp, In the Sangha is this precious jewel. By the truth may there be well- being. Whatever beings are here assembled, whether terrestial or celestial, we salute the perfected Buddha, revered by gods and men. May there be well-being! Whatever beings are here assembled, whether terrestial or celestial, we salute the perfected Dhamma, revered by gods and men. May there be well-being! Whatever beings are here assembled, whether terrestial or celestial, we salute the perfected Sangha, revered by gods and men. May there be well-being By the power of this Truth may my sufferings subside. By the power of this Truth may my fears subside By the power of this Truth may my illness subside.
