3. Anuttariyavagga 3. Unsurpassable
Anuttariyasutta Unsurpassable
āChayimÄni, bhikkhave, anuttariyÄni. āMendicants, these six things are unsurpassable.
KatamÄni cha? What six?
DassanÄnuttariyaį¹, savanÄnuttariyaį¹, lÄbhÄnuttariyaį¹, sikkhÄnuttariyaį¹, pÄricariyÄnuttariyaį¹, anussatÄnuttariyanti. The unsurpassable seeing, listening, acquisition, training, service, and recollection.
KatamaƱca, bhikkhave, dassanÄnuttariyaį¹? And what is the unsurpassable seeing?
Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco hatthiratanampi dassanÄya gacchati, assaratanampi dassanÄya gacchati, maį¹iratanampi dassanÄya gacchati, uccÄvacaį¹ vÄ pana dassanÄya gacchati, samaį¹aį¹ vÄ brÄhmaį¹aį¹ vÄ micchÄdiį¹į¹hikaį¹ micchÄpaį¹ipannaį¹ dassanÄya gacchati. Some people go to see an elephant-treasure, a horse-treasure, a jewel-treasure, or a diverse spectrum of sights; or ascetics and brahmins of wrong view and wrong practice.
Atthetaį¹, bhikkhave, dassanaį¹; netaį¹ natthÄ«ti vadÄmi. There is such a seeing, I donāt deny it.
TaƱca kho etaį¹, bhikkhave, dassanaį¹ hÄ«naį¹ gammaį¹ pothujjanikaį¹ anariyaį¹ anatthasaį¹hitaį¹, na nibbidÄya na virÄgÄya na nirodhÄya na upasamÄya na abhiƱƱÄya na sambodhÄya na nibbÄnÄya saį¹vattati. That seeing is low, crude, ordinary, ignoble, and pointless. It doesnāt lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment.
Yo ca kho, bhikkhave, tathÄgataį¹ vÄ tathÄgatasÄvakaį¹ vÄ dassanÄya gacchati niviį¹į¹hasaddho niviį¹į¹hapemo ekantagato abhippasanno, etadÄnuttariyaį¹, bhikkhave, dassanÄnaį¹ sattÄnaį¹ visuddhiyÄ sokaparidevÄnaį¹ samatikkamÄya dukkhadomanassÄnaį¹ atthaį¹

The unsurpassable seeing is when someone with settled faith and love, sure and devoted, goes to see a Realized One or their disciple. This is in order to purify sentient beings, to get past sorrow and crying, to make an end of pain and sadness, to discover the system, and to realize extinguishment.
Idaį¹ vuccati, bhikkhave, dassanÄnuttariyaį¹. This is called the unsurpassable seeing.
Iti dassanÄnuttariyaį¹. Such is the unsurpassable seeing.
SavanÄnuttariyaƱca kathaį¹ hoti? But what of the unsurpassable hearing?

Some people acquire a child, a wife, wealth, or a diverse spectrum of things; or they acquire faith in an ascetic or brahmin of wrong view and wrong practice.
Attheso, bhikkhave, lÄbho; neso natthÄ«ti vadÄmi. There is such an acquisition, I donāt deny it.
So ca kho eso, bhikkhave, lÄbho hÄ«no gammo pothujjaniko anariyo anatthasaį¹hito, na nibbidÄya na virÄgÄya na nirodhÄya na upasamÄya na abhiƱƱÄya na sambodhÄya na nibbÄnÄya saį¹vattati. That acquisition ā¦ doesnāt lead to extinguishment.
