The Conduct Leading to Buddhahood

The Chapter With Yudhañjaya

The Perfection of Equanimity

The Great Hair-raising Conduct

1 “I made my bed in a charnel ground,

resting on a skeleton.

Village louts came up

and mocked me in all sorts of ways.

2 Others brought me

incense and flowers,

and many kinds of cooked food,

all thrilled, their minds elated.

3 Those who brought me pain,

and those who gave me happiness,

were all the same to me.

I felt no favor or anger.

4 I became balanced toward pleasure and pain,

fame and disgrace.

I was equal in every case:

this is my perfection of equanimity.”

10 Having thus experienced many kinds of suffering

and many kinds of success,

in various past lives,

I realized supreme awakening.

11 I gave what could be given,

and fulfilled ethics without reserve.

Having won the perfection of renunciation,

I realized supreme awakening.

12 I inquired of the astute,

and put forth highest effort,

having won the perfection of acceptance,

I realized supreme awakening.

13 Having made a firm resolve,

and guarded truthful speech,

having won the perfection of love,

I realized supreme awakening.

14 In gain and loss, fame and disgrace,

respect and contempt,

having become equal in every case,

I realized supreme awakening.

15 Seeing laziness as fearful,

and energy as a sanctuary,

rouse up energy:

this is the Buddhas’ instruction!

16 Seeing dispute as fearful,

and harmony as a sanctuary,

be harmonious and courteous:

this is the Buddhas’ instruction!

17 Seeing negligence as fearful,

and diligence as a sanctuary,

develop the eightfold path:

this is the Buddhas’ instruction!

18 That is how the Buddha, illustrating his own conduct in past lives, spoke the exposition of the teaching named the “Legends of the Buddha”.
