5. On Fire
Nymphs
“It’s resounding with a group of nymphs,
but haunted by a gang of goblins!
This grove is called ‘Deluding’.
How will I keep going?”
“That path is called ‘the direct way’,
and it’s headed for the place called ‘fearless’.
The chariot is called ‘unswerving’,
fitted with wheels of the teaching.
Conscience is its bench-back,
mindfulness its upholstery.
I say the teaching is the driver,
with right view running out in front.
Any woman or man
who has such a vehicle,
by means of this vehicle
has drawn near to extinguishment.”

Accharāsutta
“Accharāgaṇasaṅghuṭṭhaṁ,
pisācagaṇasevitaṁ;
Vanantaṁ mohanaṁ nāma,
kathaṁ yātrā bhavissatī”ti.
“Ujuko nāma so maggo,
abhayā nāma sā disā;
Ratho akūjano nāma,
dhammacakkehi saṁyuto.
Hirī tassa apālambo,
satyassa parivāraṇaṁ;
Dhammāhaṁ sārathiṁ brūmi,
sammādiṭṭhipurejavaṁ.
Yassa etādisaṁ yānaṁ,
itthiyā purisassa vā;
Sa ve etena yānena,
nibbānasseva santike”ti.

5. En feu
Nymphes
« Cela résonne d’une troupe de nymphes,
mais c’est hanté par une bande de gobelins !
Ce bosquet est appelé “Illusoire”.
Comment poursuivrai-je ma route ? »
« Ce chemin est appelé “la voie directe”,
et il mène au lieu nommé “sans peur”.
Le char est appelé “sans déviation”,
équipé des roues de l’enseignement.
La conscience morale est son dossier,
la pleine présence son rembourrage.
Je dis que l’enseignement est le conducteur,
la vue juste courant en tête.
Toute femme ou tout homme
qui possède un tel véhicule,
au moyen de ce véhicule,
s’est approché de l’extinction. »
