AN 7.1 Pleasing (1st) – Paṭhamapiyasutta

 

1.1

So I have heard.

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

1.2

At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

1.3

There the Buddha addressed the bhikkhū,

Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:

1.4

“Bhikkhū!”

“bhikkhavo”ti.

1.5

“Venerable sir,” they replied.

“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.

1.6

The Buddha said this:

Bhagavā etadavoca:

2.1

“Bhikkhū, a bhikkhu with seven qualities is disliked and disapproved by their spiritual companions, not respected or admired.

“Sattahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu sabrahmacārīnaṁ appiyo ca hoti amanāpo ca agaru ca abhāvanīyo ca.

2.2

What seven?

Katamehi sattahi?

2.3

It’s when a bhikkhu desires material possessions, honor, and to be looked up to. They lack conscience and prudence. They have wicked desires and wrong view.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu lābhakāmo ca hoti, sakkārakāmo ca hoti, anavaññattikāmo ca hoti, ahiriko ca hoti, anottappī ca, pāpiccho ca, micchādiṭṭhi ca.

2.4

A bhikkhu with these seven qualities is disliked and disapproved by their spiritual companions, not respected or admired.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu sabrahmacārīnaṁ appiyo ca hoti amanāpo ca agaru ca abhāvanīyo ca.

3.1

A bhikkhu with seven qualities is liked and approved by their spiritual companions, respected and admired.

Sattahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu sabrahmacārīnaṁ piyo ca hoti, manāpo ca garu ca bhāvanīyo ca.

3.2

What seven?

Katamehi sattahi?

3.3

It’s when a bhikkhu doesn’t desire material possessions, honor, and to be looked up to. They have conscience and prudence. They have few desires and right view.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na lābhakāmo ca hoti, na sakkārakāmo ca hoti, na anavaññattikāmo ca hoti, hirīmā ca hoti, ottappī ca, appiccho ca, sammādiṭṭhi ca.

3.4

A bhikkhu with these seven qualities is liked and approved by their spiritual companions, respected and admired.”

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu sabrahmacārīnaṁ piyo ca hoti manāpo ca garu ca bhāvanīyo cā”ti.
