Sotapanna

Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi
(Omdirigeret fra Strøm-gænger)

I buddhismen er en sotāpanna (Pali), śrotāpanna (sanskrit; burmesisk: သောတာပန်, tibetansk: རྒྱུན་ ཞུགས་[1]), "strøm-vinder", [2] eller "strøm-gænger" [3] en person, der har set dharma og følgelig har overskåret de første tre lænker (saŋyojana), der binder et væsen til samsara, nemlig identitetssyn (sakkāya-ditthi), tilknytning til riter og ritualer (sīlabbata-parāmāsa) og tvivl (på Buddha; vicikitsa).

Ordet sotāpanna betyder bogstaveligt "en, der er kommet ind i (āpanna) strømmen (sota)", efter en metafor, der kalder den ædle ottefoldige vej en strøm, der fører til nibbāna. [4] At komme ind i strømmen (sotāpatti) er den første af de fire oplysningstrin.[5]

Man bliver sotāpanna ved at skære de tre første lænker over.

Det siges, at sotāpanna har en intuitiv forståelse af dharmaen.[6] Denne visdom kaldes ret forståelse (sammā diṭṭhi). [7]

Sotāpanna har en urokkelig tillid til Buddha, dharma og sangha.

Det siges, at sotapanna har "åbnet dhamma-øjet" (dhammacakka), fordi de har indset, at alt, hvad der opstår, vil ophøre (anicca).[8]

En sotāpanna har fået sit første glimt af det ubetingede element, asankhata, [9] hvori man ser målet.

Mens strøm-gængeren har set nibbāna, og således bekræftet tilliden til det, kan arahanten [10] "drikke fuldt ud af kilden", for at bruge en simile fra Kosambi Sutta (SN 12.68).[11]

Sotāpanna "kan sige dette om sig selv: 'Helvede er afsluttet; genfødsel som dyr er afsluttet; tilstanden som hungrende spøgelse er afsluttet; tilværelser med berøvelse, fattigdom og de dårlige genfødsler er ophørt! Jeg er en strøm-vinder, standhaftig, aldrig mere bestemt til tilværelser med ulykke, jeg har kurs mod selvoplysning!".[12]

De resterende tre stier er:

  1. Engangs-tilbagevender (sakadāgāmin),
  2. Ikke-tilbagevender (anāgāmin) og
  3. Arahant

Strøm-gængere er bestemt til at nå disse stier. Deres oplysning som discipel (ariya-sāvaka) bliver uundgåelig inden for syv liv, hvor de transmigrerer blandt guder og mennesker; [13][14] hvis de er vedholdende (appamatta, appamāda) i praksis med Buddhas lære, kan de muligvis vågne fuldstændigt op i deres nuværende liv. De har meget lidt fremtidig lidelse at gennemgå.[15]

De tidlige buddhistiske tekster (f.eks. Ratana Sutta) siger, at en strøm-gænger ikke længere vil blive født i dyreriget eller helvedesriger; ej heller som et hungrende spøgelse. Vejen til uheldige genfødsler (duggati) er blevet lukket for dem.[16]

["My friend, although I have seen properly with right discernment, as it actually is present, that 'The cessation of becoming is Unbinding,' still I am not an arahant whose fermentations are ended. [2] It's as if there were a well along a road in a desert, with neither rope nor water bucket. A man would come along overcome by heat, oppressed by the heat, exhausted, dehydrated, & thirsty. He would look into the well and would have knowledge of 'water,' but he would not dwell touching it with his body.

Furthermore, Sariputta, here a certain person fulfills moral virtue, but gains only limited concentration, gains only limited wisdom.20 With the total destruction of the three fetters, he is a seven-at-most,21 having re-arisen and wandered amongst gods and humans for seven lives at the most, makes an end of suffering.22
