AN 5.105 Living Comfortably – Phāsuvihārasutta

 

1.1

“Bhikkhū, there are these five ways of living comfortably.

“Pañcime, bhikkhave, phāsuvihārā.

1.2

What five?

Katame pañca?

1.3

It’s when a bhikkhu consistently treats their spiritual companions with kindness by way of body, speech, and mind, both in public and in private.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno mettaṁ kāyakammaṁ paccupaṭṭhitaṁ hoti sabrahmacārīsu āvi ceva raho ca, mettaṁ vacīkammaṁ … mettaṁ manokammaṁ paccupaṭṭhitaṁ hoti sabrahmacārīsu āvi ceva raho ca.

1.4

They live according to the precepts shared with their spiritual companions, both in public and in private. Those precepts are unbroken, impeccable, spotless, and unmarred, liberating, praised by sensible people, not mistaken, and leading to samādhi.

Yāni tāni sīlāni akhaṇḍāni acchiddāni asabalāni akammāsāni bhujissāni viññuppasatthāni aparāmaṭṭhāni samādhisaṁvattanikāni, tathārūpehi sīlehi sīlasāmaññagato viharati sabrahmacārīhi āvi ceva raho ca.

1.5

They live according to the view shared with their spiritual companions, both in public and in private. That view is noble and emancipating, and brings one who practices it to the complete ending of suffering.

Yāyaṁ diṭṭhi ariyā niyyānikā niyyāti takkarassa sammā dukkhakkhayāya, tathārūpāya diṭṭhiyā diṭṭhisāmaññagato viharati sabrahmacārīhi āvi ceva raho ca.

1.6

These are the five ways of living comfortably.”

Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca phāsuvihārā”ti.

1.7

 

Pañcamaṁ.
