[Verse 1]
“Where is the path to Nibbāna found?”
Sāriputta's wisdom gives the answer clear:
When greed and hatred, delusion cease,
The heart awakens to perfect peace.
[Verse 2]
Right View and Right Intention lead,
Right Speech and Action shape our deeds.
Right Livelihood, Effort, Mindfulness,
Right Concentration brings inner peace.
[Pre-Chorus]
Know suffering, know its cause,
Know the path where suffering ends.
Release attachment, release delusion,
Walk with wisdom, walk with mindfulness.
[Chorus]
Know suffering, let its causes go,
Know craving, let attachment flow.
The Noble Eightfold Path becomes the light,
Guiding the heart toward freedom bright.
Know greed, know hatred, know delusion,
Do not let them rule the mind.
When their roots are fully uprooted,
Peace and liberation we will find.
[Verse 3]
Pleasant feeling, painful feeling,
And the feeling neither painful nor pleasant,
See them clearly as they arise,
With wisdom open, with mindful eyes.
The taints and craving, clinging too,
Existence and ignorance we see through.
Knowing their nature, letting them cease,
The mind moves toward a deeper peace.
[Bridge]
See the six sense-contact bases arise,
See their cessation with awakened eyes.
Know their pleasure, danger, and release,
And through non-clinging, discover peace.
[Final Chorus]
Know suffering, let its causes go,
Know craving, let attachment flow.
The Noble Eightfold Path becomes the light,
Guiding the heart toward freedom bright.
Practice the Dhamma, live the Dhamma way,
With mindfulness through every day.
When greed, hatred, delusion disappear,
Nibbāna shines… peaceful and clear.
Jambukhādaka Saṃyutta: The Noble Eightfold Path to Liberation
Tipiṭaka, Volume 18 — Sutta Piṭaka, Volume 10, Saṃyutta Nikāya, Saḷāyatana Vagga
BANGKOK — The Jambukhādaka Saṃyutta presents an important Buddhist teaching on the path toward the cessation of suffering. The teaching is presented through a dialogue between Venerable Sāriputta and the wanderer Jambukhādaka, who asks about Nibbāna, arahantship, and the path leading to liberation.
When asked what Nibbāna is, Venerable Sāriputta explains that the destruction of greed, hatred, and delusion is called Nibbāna. He further explains that there is a path and practice leading to the realization of Nibbāna: the Noble Eightfold Path—Right View, Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration.
The teaching similarly defines arahantship as the state in which greed, hatred, and delusion have come to an end. The Noble Eightfold Path is again identified as the path for realizing arahantship. A true speaker of Dhamma is described as one who teaches the abandonment of greed, hatred, and delusion, while one who practices to abandon them is a person who practices well. One who has completely uprooted these defilements is described as one who has gone well in the world.
Another important theme concerns the purpose of the holy life. Venerable Sāriputta states that he lives the holy life under the Buddha for the full understanding of suffering. When asked about the path for understanding suffering, he again identifies the Noble Eightfold Path.
The Jambukhādaka Saṃyutta also explains the meaning of “relief” and “supreme relief.” A person reaches relief by understanding, as they truly are, the arising, cessation, gratification, danger, and escape concerning the six sense-contact bases. Supreme relief is reached when that understanding leads to liberation through non-clinging.
The discourse further examines several important Buddhist concepts. The three kinds of feeling are pleasant feeling, painful feeling, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling. The three taints are sensual taint, existence taint, and ignorance taint. The three forms of craving are craving for sensual pleasure, craving for existence, and craving for non-existence. The Noble Eightfold Path serves as the path for understanding or abandoning these conditions.
The teaching also identifies four floods—the flood of sensuality, the flood of existence, the flood of views, and the flood of ignorance—and four forms of clinging: clinging to sensual pleasures, views, rules and observances, and the doctrine of self.
Existence is described in three realms: the sensual realm, the form realm, and the formless realm. Suffering is presented in three forms: suffering as suffering, suffering due to formations, and suffering due to change. The teaching also explains sakkāya through the five aggregates subject to clinging: form, feeling, perception, formations, and consciousness. The Noble Eightfold Path is presented as the way to understand these phenomena.
The discourse concludes with a reflection on the difficulty of spiritual practice. Going forth into homelessness is difficult; maintaining deep delight after ordination is difficult; and practicing in accordance with Dhamma is also difficult. Yet when a monk practices in accordance with Dhamma, the realization of arahantship is said to be not far away.
The central message of the Jambukhādaka Saṃyutta is therefore simple and profound: understand suffering, understand its causes, abandon those causes, and walk the Noble Eightfold Path. Through wisdom and non-clinging, the mind moves toward peace and liberation.
