With Single Purpose

專念

『Pahitatto』 is usually rendered as 『with a mind dispatched to nibbāna.』 Taking it literally, some postulate that there is no need to practise meditation once one has dispatched the mind towards nibbāna. This is contrary to the teaching in the texts. What the word means is that one should exert in the practice regardless of life and limb, fixing one』s mind firmly on attaining the path, its fruition, and nibbāna. This agrees with the Commentary on the Sīlakkhandha Sutta, which deals with the subject of mental culture.

『Pahitatto』通常描述為 『具有派遣往涅槃的心』 。有人望文生義，主張一旦決心走入涅槃，就沒必要修習禪修。這和經文中的教導相違。該詞的意思是，應該不顧及生命和危險地竭力禪修，穩固地把心固定為獲得道、果和涅槃。這個觀點和Sīlakkhandha 經中的注釋一致。該經談及禪修的問題。
