Poor
“‘दलिद्दो, दलिद्दोऽति, भन्ते, वुच्चति। कित्तावता नु खो, भन्ते, ‘दलिद्दोऽति वुच्चती”ति?
“‘Daliddo, daliddo’ti, bhante, vuccati. Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, ‘daliddo’ti vuccatī”ti?
“Sir, they speak of someone who is ‘poor’. How is a poor person defined?”
“सत्तन्नं खो, भिक्खु, बोज्झङ्गानं अभावितत्ता अबहुलीकतत्ता ‘दलिद्दोऽति वुच्चति। कतमेसं सत्तन्नं? सतिसम्बोज्झङ्गस्स …पे… उपेक्खासम्बोज्झङ्गस्स—इमेसं खो, भिक्खु, सत्तन्नं बोज्झङ्गानं अभावितत्ता अबहुलीकतत्ता ‘दलिद्दोऽति वुच्चती”ति।
“Sattannaṁ kho, bhikkhu, bojjhaṅgānaṁ abhāvitattā abahulīkatattā ‘daliddo’ti vuccati. Katamesaṁ sattannaṁ? Satisambojjhaṅgassa …pe… upekkhāsambojjhaṅgassa—imesaṁ kho, bhikkhu, sattannaṁ bojjhaṅgānaṁ abhāvitattā abahulīkatattā ‘daliddo’ti vuccatī”ti.
“Bhikkhu, they’re called poor because they haven’t developed and cultivated the seven awakening factors. What seven? The awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, immersion, and equanimity. They’re called poor because they haven’t developed and cultivated these seven awakening factors.”
