AN 5.19 The Welfare of Neither – Tatiyahitasutta

 

1.1

“Bhikkhū, a bhikkhu with five qualities is practicing neither for their own welfare, nor that of others.

“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu neva attahitāya paṭipanno hoti, no parahitāya.

1.2

What five?

Katamehi pañcahi?

1.3

It’s when a bhikkhu is not personally accomplished in ethics, samādhi, wisdom, freedom, or the knowledge and vision of freedom. Nor do they encourage others in these qualities.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu attanā na sīlasampanno hoti, no paraṁ sīlasampadāya samādapeti;

1.4

 

attanā na samādhisampanno hoti, no paraṁ samādhisampadāya samādapeti;

1.5

 

attanā na paññāsampanno hoti, no paraṁ paññāsampadāya samādapeti;

1.6

 

attanā na vimuttisampanno hoti, no paraṁ vimuttisampadāya samādapeti;

1.7

 

attanā na vimuttiñāṇadassanasampanno hoti, no paraṁ vimuttiñāṇadassanasampadāya samādapeti.

1.8

A bhikkhu with these five qualities is practicing neither for their own welfare, nor that of others.”

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu neva attahitāya paṭipanno hoti, no parahitāyā”ti.
