The Fourth Discourse about Nibbāna

Thus I heard: At one time the Gracious One was dwelling near Sāvatthī, in Jeta’s Wood, at Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Then at that time the Gracious One was instructing, rousing, enthusing, and cheering the monks with a Dhamma talk connected with Emancipation. Those monks, after making it their goal, applying their minds, considering it with all their mind, were listening to Dhamma with an attentive ear.

Then the Gracious One, having understood the significance of it, on that occasion uttered this exalted utterance:

“For the dependent there is agitation,
for the independent there is no agitation.

“When there is no agitation there is calm,
when there is calm there is no inclining.

“When there is no inclining,
there is no coming or going.

“When there is no coming or going,
there is no passing away and rebirth.

“When there is no passing away and rebirth,
there is no here or hereafter or in between the two—
just this is the end of suffering.”

About Extinguishment (4th)

So I have heard.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
Now at that time the Buddha was educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the mendicants with a Dhamma talk about extinguishment.
And those mendicants were paying heed, paying attention, engaging wholeheartedly, and lending an ear.
Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:
“For the dependent there is agitation. For the independent there’s no agitation.
When there’s no agitation there is tranquility.
When there is tranquility there’s no inclination.
When there’s no inclination, there’s no coming and going.
When there’s no coming and going, there’s no passing away and reappearing.
When there’s no passing away and reappearing there’s no this world or world beyond or between the two.
Just this is the end of suffering.”
