4. Chapter ii 16 Modes of Conveying: Combined Treatment (Continued) (NE22)

[3]

595. Herein, what is the Mode of Conveying a Construing in
Combined Treatment? [It is as follows:]

So let his cognizance be guarded,
Having for pasture right intention,
Giving right view first place through knowing
Rise and fall, transcending drowsing
And lethargy, a bhikkhu may
Abandon all bad destinations.

“So let his cognizance be guarded, Having for pasture right intention”: this is construable thus: One with guarded cognizance will be one who has for his pasture right intention. It is construable thus: One who has for his pasture right intention will be one who has right view. It is construable thus: When he abides with right view placed first he will penetrate rise and fall. It is construable thus: When he penetrates rise and fall he will abandon all bad destinations. It is construable thus: When he abandons all bad destinations he will surmount all the fears of bad destinations and states of unease.

The Mode of Conveying a Construing in Combined Treatment is ended.
