single Auspicious Attachment to Venerable Aananda. (132)
I
heard thus.At one time the Blessed One lived in the monastery offered by
Anaathapindika in Jeta’s grove in Saavatthi. At that time venerable Aananda
was in the attendance hall, instructing, advising, and making the hearts
light of the bhikkhus, with the short and detailed exposition of the single
auspicious attachment. Then the Blessed One got up from his seclusion in
the evening approached the attendance hall sat on the prepared seat and
addressed the bhikkhus. ‘Bhikkhus, who was instructing, advising, and making
the hearts light of the bhikkhus in the attendance hall, with the short
and detailed exposition of the single auspicious attachment?’
‘Venerable
sir, venerable Aananda,.was instructing, advising, and making the hearts
light of the bhikkhus in the attendance hall, with the short and detailed
exposition of the single auspicious attachment’
Then
the Blessed One addressed venerable Aananda. ‘Aananda, how did you instruct
advise and make the hearts light of the bhikkhus in the attendance hall,
with the short and detailed exposition of the single auspicious attachment?’
‘Venerable
sir, I instructed, advised and made the hearts light of the bhikkhus in
the attendance hall, with the short and detailed exposition of the single
auspicious attachment, in this manner.
Do
not recollect the past, nor desire the future,
The
past is over, the future has not come.
These
things of the present, see them with insight as they arise
Not
faltering and not moved, think about them.
Today
itself the dispelling should be done
Tomorrow
death might come
We
will not have any associations with Death and his great army
You
should abide dispelling thus, day and night zealously,
This
is the single auspicious attachment, the appeased sage tells

in the past. I was of such feelings in the past. I was of such perceptions
in the past. I was of such determinations in the past. I was of such consciousness
in the past. Bhikkhus, thus you recollect the past.
