Nikaya
XV.9
Danda
Sutta
The
Stick
Translated
from
the
Pali
by
Thanissaro
Bhikkhu
At
Savatthi.
There
the
Blessed
One
said:
"From
an
inconstruable
beginning
comes
transmigration.
A
beginning
point
is
not
evident,
though
beings
hindered
by
ignorance
and
fettered
by
craving
are
transmigrating
&
wandering
on.
Just
as
a
stick
thrown
up
in
the
air
lands
sometimes
on
its
base,
sometimes
on
its
side,
sometimes
on
its
tip;
in
the
same
way,
beings
hindered
by
ignorance
and
fettered
by
craving,
transmigrating
&
wandering
on,
sometimes
go
from
this
world
to
another
world,
sometimes
come
from
another
world
to
this.
"Why
is
that?
From
an
inconstruable
beginning
comes
transmigration.
A
beginning
point
is
not
evident,
though
beings
hindered
by
ignorance
and
fettered
by
craving
are
transmigrating
&
wandering
on.
Long
have
you
thus
experienced
stress,
experienced
pain,
experienced
loss,
swelling
the
cemeteries
--
enough
to
become
disenchanted
with
all
fabricated
things,
enough
to
become
dispassionate,
enough
to
be
released."
