At Sāvatthī.
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
Seated to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Buddha:
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
“Sir, they speak of a ‘Dhamma speaker’.
“‘dhammakathiko, dhammakathiko’ti, bhante, vuccati;
How is a Dhamma speaker defined?
kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, dhammakathiko hoti;
How is a bhikkhu who practices in line with the teaching defined? And how is a bhikkhu who has attained extinguishment in this very life defined?”
kittāvatā dhammānudhammappaṭipanno hoti, kittāvatā diṭṭhadhammanibbānappatto hotī”ti?
“Bhikkhu, if a bhikkhu teaches Dhamma for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding form, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who speaks on Dhamma’.
“Rūpassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya dhammaṁ deseti, ‘dhammakathiko bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding form, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who practices in line with the teaching’.
Rūpassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti, ‘dhammānudhammappaṭipanno bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If they’re freed by not grasping by disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding form, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who has attained extinguishment in this very life’.
Rūpassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidā virāgā nirodhā anupādāvimutto hoti, ‘diṭṭhadhammanibbānappatto bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If a bhikkhu teaches Dhamma for disillusionment with feeling …

consciousness, for its fading away and cessation, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who speaks on Dhamma’.
viññāṇassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya dhammaṁ deseti, ‘dhammakathiko bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding consciousness, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who practices in line with the teaching’.
Viññāṇassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti, ‘dhammānudhammappaṭipanno bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If they’re freed by not grasping by disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding consciousness, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who has attained extinguishment in this very life’.”
Viññāṇassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidā virāgā nirodhā anupādāvimutto hoti, ‘diṭṭhadhammanibbānappatto bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāyā”ti.
