1.1

“Bhikkhū, when a bhikkhu has six things they’re full of joy and happiness in the present life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements.

“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu diṭṭheva dhamme sukhasomanassabahulo viharati, yoni cassa āraddhā hoti āsavānaṁ khayāya.

1.2

What six?

Katamehi chahi?

1.3

It’s when a bhikkhu enjoys the teaching, meditation, giving up, seclusion, kindness, and non-proliferation.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu dhammārāmo hoti, bhāvanārāmo hoti, pahānārāmo hoti, pavivekārāmo hoti, abyāpajjhārāmo hoti, nippapañcārāmo hoti.

1.4

When a bhikkhu has these six things they’re full of joy and happiness in the present life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements.”

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu diṭṭheva dhamme sukhasomanassabahulo viharati, yoni cassa āraddhā hoti āsavānaṁ khayāyā”ti.
