SN 35.155 A Dhamma Speaker – Dhammakathikapucchasutta
Then a bhikkhu went up to the Buddha … and asked him,
Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe… 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 hotī”ti?
“If a bhikkhu teaches Dhamma for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the eye, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who speaks on Dhamma’.
“Cakkhussa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya dhammaṁ deseti, ‘dhammakathiko bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the eye, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who practices in line with the teaching’.
Cakkhussa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti, ‘dhammānudhammappaṭipanno bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If they’re freed by not grasping by disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the eye, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who has attained extinguishment in this very life’.
Cakkhussa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidā virāgā nirodhā anupādāvimutto hoti, ‘diṭṭhadhammanibbānappatto bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya …pe…
If a bhikkhu teaches Dhamma for disillusionment with the ear … nose … tongue … body …
jivhāya ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya dhammaṁ deseti, ‘dhammakathiko bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya …pe…
mind, for its fading away and cessation, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who speaks on Dhamma’.
manassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya dhammaṁ deseti, ‘dhammakathiko bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the mind, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who practices in line with the teaching’.
Manassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti, ‘dhammānudhammappaṭipanno bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāya.
If they’re freed by not grasping by disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the mind, they’re qualified to be called a ‘bhikkhu who has attained extinguishment in this very life’.”
Manassa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidā virāgā nirodhā anupādāvimutto hoti, ‘diṭṭhadhammanibbānappatto bhikkhū’ti alaṁvacanāyā”ti.
