[Intro]
Listen to the Dhamma, let its meaning grow,
Remember what is worthy, let understanding flow.
With virtue as our foundation, with meditation deep,
We awaken wisdom that the heart can keep.
[Verse 1]
We listen and remember, we reflect upon the way,
We learn from every moment, from the night and from the day.
All things arise through causes, all things change and pass,
Nothing bound by conditions is forever meant to last.
See the rising, see the falling,
Hear the truth beyond our calling.
Let attachment lose its hold,
Let the heart grow wise and bold.
[Chorus]
Wisdom, wisdom, guide us to the truth,
Through the changing seasons of our age and youth.
Know the suffering, understand its source,
Walk the path of freedom with a steady course.
Seventy-three knowledges, a framework for the mind,
Through practice and reflection, deeper truths we find.
Let the fires of craving slowly cease to burn,
From the light of understanding, let liberation turn.
[Verse 2]
Know the truth of suffering, know what brings it into birth,
Know the peace of its cessation, know the path of lasting worth.
Not through words alone, but through the life we choose to lead,
Wisdom grows through practice, through each wholesome thought and deed.
Understand the meaning, let the Dhamma shine,
Use words with care and clarity, let insight be refined.
When knowledge meets compassion, when the heart is free from greed,
The teachings become living truth in every thought and deed.
[Bridge]
The path leads toward freedom, the fruit reveals its peace,
As wisdom cuts through defilements, the chains of craving cease.
No shortcut through illusion, no freedom built on pride,
But patient cultivation, with the truth as our guide.
[Final Chorus]
Wisdom, wisdom, guide us to the truth,
Through the changing seasons of our age and youth.
Know the suffering, understand its source,
Walk the path of freedom with a steady course.
Seventy-three knowledges, remember what they show:
Learn, reflect, and cultivate; let understanding grow.
With virtue, mindfulness, and insight clear,
May the peace of liberation draw ever near.
[Outro]
Listen to the Dhamma, practice what is true,
Let wisdom shape the things we say and do.
When grasping fades and understanding shines,
The heart rests peacefully beyond the changing tides.
Matika in the Tipitaka: The 73 Kinds of Knowledge and the Path to Liberation
The Matika, found in Volume 31 of the Tipitaka, in the Sutta Pitaka, Khuddaka Nikaya, Patisambhidamagga, presents a systematic collection of knowledge arising from wisdom. Its scope extends from learning and remembering the Dhamma to moral restraint, mental cultivation, insight into the arising and passing away of phenomena, and the knowledge associated with the Four Noble Truths and the eradication of mental defilements.
The text explains that wisdom is not limited to memorizing teachings. It involves understanding causes and conditions, contemplating the nature of phenomena, developing insight, and cultivating the mind toward liberation.
Key Teachings
1. Wisdom through learning and cultivation
Wisdom begins with listening to and remembering the Dhamma. It develops through moral discipline, restraint, meditation, and direct contemplation.
2. Insight into impermanence
Practitioners investigate the changing nature of conditioned phenomena, recognize their limitations, and gradually develop equanimity grounded in wisdom rather than attachment.
3. Knowledge associated with liberation
The text describes various kinds of knowledge connected with the path, fruition, freedom from defilements, and reflection on the results of spiritual practice.
4. The Four Noble Truths
The framework includes knowledge of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path leading to the cessation of suffering.
5. The four analytical knowledges
These are knowledge of meaning, knowledge of the Dhamma, knowledge of language, and knowledge of discernment or ready understanding. Together, they express the ability to understand, explain, and communicate the teachings accurately.
The concluding passage classifies the 73 kinds of knowledge into 67 that are shared with the disciples and six that are exclusive to the Tathagata, the Buddha.
The central message of the Matika is that genuine wisdom grows through learning, ethical conduct, mental cultivation, and insight into reality. Its purpose is not merely intellectual achievement, but the gradual abandonment of defilements, the ending of attachment, and the realization of liberation.
