47(5)Directly Visible(1)
Then the wanderer Moliyasivaka approached the Blessed One
and exchanged greetings with him.
Moliyaslvaka is also at SN 36:21, IV 230—31, where he inquires from the Buddha whether all feeling is due to past kamma. When they had concluded their greetings and cordial talk,he sat down to one side
and said to the Blessed One:
"Bhante,it is said:'The directly visible Dhamma,the directly visible Dhamma.'
In what way,Bhante,is the Dhamma directly visible,immediate,inviting one to come and see,applicable,to be personally experienced by the wise'?"
On the "directly visible Dhamma" {sanditthiko dhammo), see too 3:53-54. [357]"Well then,Sivaka,I will question you in turn about this.
Answer as you see fit.
What do you think,Sivaka?(1)When there is greed within you,do you know:'There is greed within
me,'and when there is no greed within you,do you know:'There is no greed within me'?"
"Yes,Bhante."
"Since,Sivaka,when there is greed within you,you know:'There is greed within me,and when there is no greed withinyou,you know:'There is no greed within me,'in this way the Dhamma is directly visible,immediate,inviting one to comeand see,applicable,to be personally experienced by the wise."
What do you think,Sivaka?(2)When there is hatred within
you...(3)...delusion within you...(4)...a state connected with greed within you
Lobhadhamma. Similarly, just below, the text has dosadhamma and mohadhamma. Mp glosses as "the factors associated with it" (tamsampayuttadhamma)....(5)...a state connected with hatredwithin you..(6)...a state connected with delusion within you,do you know:There is a state connected with delusion within
me,'and when there is no state connected with delusion within you,do you know:'There is no state connected with delusion
within me'?""Yes,Bhante."
"Since,Sivaka,when there is a state connected with delusion within you,you know:'There is a state connected with delusion within me,'and when there is no state connected with delusion within you,you know:'There is no state connected with delusion within me,'in this way the Dhamma is directly visible,immediate,inviting one to come and see,applicable,tobe personally experienced by the wise."
"Excellent,Bhante! [as at 6:38]...Let the Blessed One consider me a lay follower who from today has gone for refuge
for life."
