[12] Examination of Pain (10 verses)

1. My own Action, and others’ Action,

And Action, which is done by myself and the others together, are not reasonable.

Only one aim called Pain has been desired,

And the Pain and what has been done actually, are not combined into one.


2. In the case, when my Action exists,

It is clear that what has expanded does not exist clearly.

And what have been accumulated are accumulations.

Because something clearly aggregated, is conspicuously clear in front of us.


3. When this world is different from what is seen now,

The similarity and difference of the world might be bound then by the miscellaneous
things and phenomena.

It might be true that something, which has been produced by others, can be painful,

But even being produced by either by others, or by oneself, they are the same to be
produced by production.


4. When the personality of myself has produced Pain,

Then it might be similar to as if there were no Pain, too.

The personality of myself is also only one among many people,

And so what has produced Pain, is also my Action itself.


5. When the personality of others have produced Pain,

Then the Pain has been illuminated by other's light.

What are created by others, might be the Pain,

And where is it possible for Reality to exist without Pain?


6. When the personality of others have produced Pain,

Then what is just the personality, which is called other's personality?

The situation, which does not have any Pain, might be the states, which have been
produced.

Therefore it is the state, which has been grasped by the facts.


7. Because our products haven't been accomplished yet,

It is impossible for us to say that the Pain has come from others’ efforts.

Because even though other people have also created their Pain actually,

Their work might be done as their own products separately.


8. What I have sacrificed for producing something, is not so painful.

Because without relying upon such efforts the article might not be produced at all.

Because in this case another person must be different from the person himself,

Therefore how is it possible for Pain to come from another's behavior?


9. In the case that a work has been done by the two members,

Then the Pain might be separated into two, one by one.

If Pain has not been produced by either others, or by himself,

Why Pain is so unreasonable actually like that?


10. Some special condition, which is peculiarly individual, does not belong to Pain,

The four kinds of recognition, that is, life, aging, disease, and death, are difficult to
realize.

And even though what are existents out of doors, are also existence,

The four kinds of recognition, that is, life, aging, disease, and death, are difficult to
realize.
