(1) Ogham — Flood
I heard thus. Once the Blessed One lived in Sāvatthi, in Jeta’s grove in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika. When the night was waning, a certain deity illuminating the whole of Jeta’s grove approached the Blessed One, worshipped, stood on a side and said:
“Venerable sir, how did you cross the flood?”
“Friend, I crossed the flood not taking a footing and not exerting.”
“Venerable sir, not taking a footing and not exerting in which manner, did you cross the flood?”
“It’s after a long time I have seen a Brahmin who has extinguished,
Without standing and without exerting he has crossed the diffused ness of the world.”
“Friend, when standing I sank, when exerting I was led astray, therefore not standing, not exerting I crossed the flood.”
Saying it, the deity waited for the approval of the Blessed One. Knowing the Teacher approves, she worshiped and circumambulated the Blessed One and vanished from there.

“Venerable sir, do you know the seclusion, deliverance and release of beings?”
“Friend, I know the seclusion, deliverance and release of beings.”
“Venerable sir, as yon know, how is the seclusion, deliverance and release of beings?”
“Diminishing the interest ‘to be’, and destroying perceptions and consciousness, seeing appeasement and cessation of feelings, I see as the seclusion, deliverance and the release of beings.”

There is no shelter for those overcome by decay.
Seeing this fear in death, do merit that brings pleasantness.

There is no shelter for those overcome by decay
Seeing appeasement in this, give up worldly material.”

Seeing this fear in death, give up worldly material.”

With coming together of how many is said, the bhikkhu has crossed the flood?
There’s five to cut, five to give up and five to be developed further
And with the coming together of five, it is said the bhikkhu has crossed.”

There is no moral perfection to the inattentive.
Someone, living alone in the forest negligently

With good intention, always well released,
Lives in the forest, alone, diligently
Indeed he crosses the domains of Death. .

Partaking food once for the day, how is the countenance so pleasant?”
Satisfied in the present, by that the countenance is pleasant.
“Planning the future too much, and grieving the past,
The foolish whither, like reeds cut when young.”0
