AN 5.111 Visiting Families – Kulūpakasutta

 

1.1

“Bhikkhū, a bhikkhu with five qualities who visits families is unlikable and unlovable, not respected or admired.

“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato kulūpako bhikkhu kulesu appiyo ca hoti amanāpo ca agaru ca abhāvanīyo ca.

1.2

What five?

Katamehi pañcahi?

1.3

They act as though they're close to people they hardly know. They give away things they don’t own. They over-associate with close friends. They whisper in the ear. And they ask for too much.

Asanthavavissāsī ca hoti, anissaravikappī ca, vissaṭṭhupasevī ca, upakaṇṇakajappī ca, atiyācanako ca.

1.4

A bhikkhu with these five qualities who visits families is unlikable and unlovable, not respected or admired.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato kulūpako bhikkhu kulesu appiyo ca hoti amanāpo ca agaru ca abhāvanīyo ca.

2.1

A bhikkhu with five qualities who visits families is dear and beloved, respected and admired.

Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato kulūpako bhikkhu kulesu piyo ca hoti manāpo ca garu ca bhāvanīyo ca.

2.2

What five?

Katamehi pañcahi?

2.3

They don’t act as though they're close to people they hardly know. They don’t give away things they don’t own. They don’t over-associate with close friends. They don’t whisper in the ear. And they don’t ask for too much.

Na asanthavavissāsī ca hoti, na anissaravikappī ca, na vissaṭṭhupasevī ca, na upakaṇṇakajappī ca, na atiyācanako ca.

2.4

A bhikkhu with these five qualities who visits families is dear and beloved, respected and admired.”

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato kulūpako bhikkhu kulesu piyo ca hoti manāpo ca garu ca bhāvanīyo cā”ti.
