隆波帕默尊者：初果圣者已断除大部份的苦

A stream-enterer has eliminated most of the sufferings
有人误以为：
须陀洹、斯陀含、阿那含、阿罗汉，
证悟每一个果位，苦就依次减少25%，
比如证悟初果须陀洹，苦就减少了25%。
事实是：证悟须陀洹之后，
粗重之苦几乎殆尽，仅剩微细之苦；
尤其是证悟阿那含之后，
微细之苦也已日近黄昏，
约只剩5%而已，不会超过10%。
乍看起来，
阿那含接下来要做的工作是：
断除五个结，但它们藏身于心的至深处，
而苦却不会超过5%。
由此可见，绝大部分「失地」在基础阶段就已被收复，因为我们的心几乎全是被粗重的烦恼习气所掌控着的。
Some people mistakenly believe that:
With the attainment of each stage of enlightenment - Sotāpanna, Sakadāgāmi, Anāgāmi, and Arahant -
suffering is reduced by 25% incrementally.
For example, they think attaining Sotāpanna (Stream-enterer) reduces suffering by 25%.
The truth is: After attaining Sotāpanna,
gross suffering is almost completely eliminated,
leaving only subtle suffering.
Especially after attaining Anāgāmi (Non-returner),
even the subtle suffering is approaching its end,
remaining at about just 5%, never exceeding 10%.
At first glance,
what an Anāgāmi needs to accomplish next is:
to sever the five remaining fetters,
but these are deeply hidden in the mind's innermost layers,
while the remaining suffering doesn't exceed 5%.
This shows that most "lost territory" is reclaimed
at the foundational stages,
because our minds are almost entirely dominated
by gross defilements and habitual tendencies.
