Things That Can’t Be Done (2nd)
“छयिमानि, भिक्खवे, अभब्बट्ठानानि। कतमानि छ? अभब्बो दिट्ठिसम्पन्नो पुग्गलो कञ्चि सङ्खारं निच्चतो उपगन्तुं, अभब्बो दिट्ठिसम्पन्नो पुग्गलो कञ्चि सङ्खारं सुखतो उपगन्तुं, अभब्बो दिट्ठिसम्पन्नो पुग्गलो कञ्चि धम्मं अत्ततो उपगन्तुं, अभब्बो दिट्ठिसम्पन्नो पुग्गलो आनन्तरियं कम्मं कातुं, अभब्बो दिट्ठिसम्पन्नो पुग्गलो कोतूहलमङ्गलेन सुद्धिं पच्चागन्तुं, अभब्बो दिट्ठिसम्पन्नो पुग्गलो इतो बहिद्धा दक्खिणेय्यं गवेसितुं। इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, छ अभब्बट्ठानानी”ति।
“Chayimāni, bhikkhave, abhabbaṭṭhānāni. Katamāni cha? Abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo kañci1 saṅkhāraṁ niccato upagantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo kañci saṅkhāraṁ sukhato upagantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo kañci dhammaṁ attato upagantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo ānantariyaṁ kammaṁ2 kātuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo kotūhalamaṅgalena suddhiṁ paccāgantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo ito bahiddhā dakkhiṇeyyaṁ gavesituṁ. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cha abhabbaṭṭhānānī”ti.
“Bhikkhus, these six things can’t be done. What six? A person accomplished in view can’t take conditions to be permanent, happiness, or self. They can’t do deeds with fixed result in the next life. They can’t fall back on purification through noisy, superstitious rites. They can’t seek outside of the Buddhist community for those worthy of religious donations. These are the six things that can’t be done.”
