“पञ्चिमानि, भिक्खवे, अनागतभयानि सम्पस्समानेन अलमेव भिक्खुना अप्पमत्तेन आतापिना पहितत्तेन विहरितुं अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय। कतमानि पञ्च?

“Bhikkhus, seeing these five future perils is quite enough for a bhikkhu to meditate diligently, keenly, and resolutely for attaining the unattained, achieving the unachieved, and realizing the unrealized. What five?
इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु इति पटिसञ्चिक्खति: ‘अहं खो एतरहि दहरो युवा सुसुकाळकेसो भद्रेन योब्बनेन समन्नागतो पठमेन वयसा। होति खो पन सो समयो यं इमं कायं जरा फुसति। जिण्णेन खो पन जराय अभिभूतेन न सुकरं बुद्धानं सासनं मनसि कातुं, न सुकरानि अरञ्ञवनपत्थानि पन्तानि सेनासनानि पटिसेवितुं। पुरा मं सो धम्मो आगच्छति अनिट्ठो अकन्तो अमनापो; हन्दाहं पटिकच्चेव वीरियं आरभामि अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय, येनाहं धम्मेन समन्नागतो जिण्णकोपि फासुं विहरिस्सामीऽति। इदं, भिक्खवे, पठमं अनागतभयं सम्पस्समानेन अलमेव भिक्खुना अप्पमत्तेन आतापिना पहितत्तेन विहरितुं अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय।
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu iti paṭisañcikkhati: ‘ahaṁ kho etarahi daharo yuvā susukāḷakeso bhadrena yobbanena samannāgato paṭhamena vayasā. Hoti kho pana so samayo yaṁ imaṁ kāyaṁ jarā phusati. Jiṇṇena kho pana jarāya abhibhūtena na sukaraṁ buddhānaṁ sāsanaṁ manasi kātuṁ, na sukarāni araññavanapatthāni pantāni senāsanāni paṭisevituṁ. Purā maṁ so dhammo āgacchati aniṭṭho akanto amanāpo; handāhaṁ paṭikacceva1 vīriyaṁ ārabhāmi appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya, yenāhaṁ dhammena samannāgato jiṇṇakopi phāsuṁ2 viharissāmī’ti. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, paṭhamaṁ anāgatabhayaṁ sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā appamattena ātāpinā pahitattena viharituṁ appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya.
A bhikkhu reflects: ‘Currently I’m a youth, young, black-haired, blessed with youth, in the prime of life. But there will come a time when this body is struck with old age. When you’re old, overcome by old age, it’s not easy to focus on the instructions of the Buddhas, and it’s not easy to frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest. Before that unlikable, undesirable, and disagreeable thing happens, I’d better preempt it by rousing up energy for attaining the unattained, achieving the unachieved, and realizing the unrealized. That way, when it happens, I’ll live comfortably even though I’m old.’ This is the first future peril …
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु इति पटिसञ्चिक्खति: ‘अहं खो एतरहि अप्पाबाधो अप्पातङ्को समवेपाकिनिया गहणिया समन्नागतो नातिसीताय नाच्चुण्हाय मज्झिमाय पधानक्खमाय। होति खो पन सो समयो यं इमं कायं ब्याधि फुसति। ब्याधितेन खो पन ब्याधिना अभिभूतेन न सुकरं बुद्धानं सासनं मनसि कातुं, न सुकरानि अरञ्ञवनपत्थानि पन्तानि सेनासनानि पटिसेवितुं। पुरा मं सो धम्मो आगच्छति अनिट्ठो अकन्तो अमनापो; हन्दाहं पटिकच्चेव वीरियं आरभामि अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय, येनाहं धम्मेन समन्नागतो ब्याधितोपि फासुं विहरिस्सामीऽति। इदं, भिक्खवे, दुतियं अनागतभयं सम्पस्समानेन अलमेव भिक्खुना अप्पमत्तेन आतापिना पहितत्तेन विहरितुं अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu iti paṭisañcikkhati: ‘ahaṁ kho etarahi appābādho appātaṅko samavepākiniyā gahaṇiyā samannāgato nātisītāya nāccuṇhāya majjhimāya padhānakkhamāya. Hoti kho pana so samayo yaṁ imaṁ kāyaṁ byādhi phusati. Byādhitena kho pana byādhinā abhibhūtena3 na sukaraṁ buddhānaṁ sāsanaṁ manasi kātuṁ, na sukarāni araññavanapatthāni pantāni senāsanāni paṭisevituṁ. Purā maṁ so dhammo āgacchati aniṭṭho akanto amanāpo; handāhaṁ paṭikacceva vīriyaṁ ārabhāmi appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya, yenāhaṁ dhammena samannāgato byādhitopi phāsuṁ viharissāmī’ti.

Furthermore, a bhikkhu reflects: ‘Currently, I’m rarely ill or unwell. My stomach digests well, being neither too hot nor too cold, but just right, and fit for meditation. But there will come a time when this body is struck with sickness. When you’re sick, overcome by sickness, it’s not easy to focus on the instructions of the Buddhas, and it’s not easy to frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest. Before that unlikable, undesirable, and disagreeable thing happens, I’d better preempt it by rousing up energy for attaining the unattained, achieving the unachieved, and realizing the unrealized. That way, when it happens, I’ll live comfortably even though I’m sick.’ This is the second future peril …
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु इति पटिसञ्चिक्खति: ‘एतरहि खो सुभिक्खं सुसस्सं सुलभपिण्डं, सुकरं उञ्छेन पग्गहेन यापेतुं। होति खो पन सो समयो यं दुब्भिक्खं होति दुस्सस्सं दुल्लभपिण्डं, न सुकरं उञ्छेन पग्गहेन यापेतुं। दुब्भिक्खे खो पन मनुस्सा येन सुभिक्खं तेन सङ्कमन्ति। तत्थ सङ्गणिकविहारो होति आकिण्णविहारो। सङ्गणिकविहारे खो पन सति आकिण्णविहारे न सुकरं बुद्धानं सासनं मनसि कातुं, न सुकरानि अरञ्ञवनपत्थानि पन्तानि सेनासनानि पटिसेवितुं। पुरा मं सो धम्मो आगच्छति अनिट्ठो अकन्तो अमनापो; हन्दाहं पटिकच्चेव वीरियं आरभामि अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय, येनाहं धम्मेन समन्नागतो दुब्भिक्खेपि फासु विहरिस्सामीऽति। इदं, भिक्खवे, ततियं अनागतभयं सम्पस्समानेन अलमेव भिक्खुना अप्पमत्तेन आतापिना पहितत्तेन विहरितुं अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu iti paṭisañcikkhati: ‘etarahi kho subhikkhaṁ susassaṁ sulabhapiṇḍaṁ, sukaraṁ uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ. Hoti kho pana so samayo yaṁ dubbhikkhaṁ hoti dussassaṁ dullabhapiṇḍaṁ, na sukaraṁ uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ. Dubbhikkhe kho pana manussā yena subhikkhaṁ tena saṅkamanti. Tattha saṅgaṇikavihāro hoti ākiṇṇavihāro. Saṅgaṇikavihāre kho pana sati ākiṇṇavihāre na sukaraṁ buddhānaṁ sāsanaṁ manasi kātuṁ, na sukarāni araññavanapatthāni pantāni senāsanāni paṭisevituṁ. Purā maṁ so dhammo āgacchati aniṭṭho akanto amanāpo; handāhaṁ paṭikacceva vīriyaṁ ārabhāmi appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya, yenāhaṁ dhammena samannāgato dubbhikkhepi phāsu viharissāmī’ti. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, tatiyaṁ anāgatabhayaṁ sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā appamattena ātāpinā pahitattena viharituṁ appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya.
Furthermore, a bhikkhu reflects: ‘Currently, there’s plenty of food, a good harvest, so it’s easy to get almsfood, and easy to keep going by collecting alms. But there will come a time of famine, a bad harvest, when it’s hard to get almsfood, and not easy to keep going by collecting alms. In a time of famine, people move to where there’s plenty of food, where they live crowded and cramped together. When you live crowded and cramped together, it’s not easy to focus on the instructions of the Buddhas, and it’s not easy to frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest. Before that unlikable, undesirable, and disagreeable thing happens, I’d better preempt it by rousing up energy for attaining the unattained, achieving the unachieved, and realizing the unrealized. That way, when it happens, I’ll live comfortably even though there’s a famine.’ This is the third future peril …
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु इति पटिसञ्चिक्खति: ‘एतरहि खो मनुस्सा समग्गा सम्मोदमाना अविवदमाना खीरोदकीभूता अञ्ञमञ्ञं पियचक्खूहि सम्पस्सन्ता विहरन्ति। होति खो पन सो समयो यं भयं होति अटविसङ्कोपो, चक्कसमारूळ्हा जानपदा परियायन्ति। भये खो पन सति मनुस्सा येन खेमं तेन सङ्कमन्ति। तत्थ सङ्गणिकविहारो होति आकिण्णविहारो। सङ्गणिकविहारे खो पन सति आकिण्णविहारे न सुकरं बुद्धानं सासनं मनसि कातुं, न सुकरानि अरञ्ञवनपत्थानि पन्तानि सेनासनानि पटिसेवितुं। पुरा मं सो धम्मो आगच्छति अनिट्ठो अकन्तो अमनापो; हन्दाहं पटिकच्चेव वीरियं आरभामि अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय, येनाहं धम्मेन समन्नागतो भयेपि फासुं विहरिस्सामीऽति। इदं, भिक्खवे, चतुत्थं अनागतभयं सम्पस्समानेन अलमेव भिक्खुना अप्पमत्तेन आतापिना पहितत्तेन विहरितुं अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu iti paṭisañcikkhati: ‘etarahi kho manussā samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā khīrodakībhūtā aññamaññaṁ piyacakkhūhi sampassantā viharanti. Hoti kho pana so samayo yaṁ bhayaṁ hoti aṭavisaṅkopo, cakkasamārūḷhā jānapadā pariyāyanti. Bhaye kho pana sati manussā yena khemaṁ tena saṅkamanti. Tattha saṅgaṇikavihāro hoti ākiṇṇavihāro. Saṅgaṇikavihāre kho pana sati ākiṇṇavihāre na sukaraṁ buddhānaṁ sāsanaṁ manasi kātuṁ, na sukarāni araññavanapatthāni pantāni senāsanāni paṭisevituṁ. Purā maṁ so dhammo āgacchati aniṭṭho akanto amanāpo; handāhaṁ paṭikacceva vīriyaṁ ārabhāmi appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya, yenāhaṁ dhammena samannāgato bhayepi phāsuṁ viharissāmī’ti. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, catutthaṁ anāgatabhayaṁ sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā appamattena ātāpinā pahitattena viharituṁ appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya.
Furthermore, a bhikkhu reflects: ‘Currently, people live in harmony, appreciating each other, without quarreling, blending like milk and water, and regarding each other with kindly eyes. But there will come a time of peril from wild savages, when the countryfolk mount their vehicles and flee everywhere. In a time of peril, people move to where there’s sanctuary, where they live crowded and cramped together. When you live crowded and cramped together, it’s not easy to focus on the instructions of the Buddhas, and it’s not easy to frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest. Before that unlikable, undesirable, and disagreeable thing happens, I’d better preempt it by rousing up energy for attaining the unattained, achieving the unachieved, and realizing the unrealized. That way, when it happens, I’ll live comfortably even in a time of peril.’ This is the fourth future peril …
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु इति पटिसञ्चिक्खति: ‘एतरहि खो सङ्घो समग्गो सम्मोदमानो अविवदमानो एकुद्देसो फासु विहरति। होति खो पन सो समयो यं सङ्घो भिज्जति। सङ्घे खो पन भिन्ने न सुकरं बुद्धानं सासनं मनसि कातुं, न सुकरानि अरञ्ञवनपत्थानि पन्तानि सेनासनानि पटिसेवितुं। पुरा मं सो धम्मो आगच्छति अनिट्ठो अकन्तो अमनापो; हन्दाहं पटिकच्चेव वीरियं आरभामि अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय, येनाहं धम्मेन समन्नागतो भिन्नेपि सङ्घे फासुं विहरिस्सामीऽति। इदं, भिक्खवे, पञ्चमं अनागतभयं सम्पस्समानेन अलमेव भिक्खुना अप्पमत्तेन आतापिना पहितत्तेन विहरितुं अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाय।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu iti paṭisañcikkhati: ‘etarahi kho saṅgho samaggo sammodamāno avivadamāno ekuddeso phāsu viharati. Hoti kho pana so samayo yaṁ saṅgho bhijjati. Saṅghe kho pana bhinne na sukaraṁ buddhānaṁ sāsanaṁ manasi kātuṁ, na sukarāni araññavanapatthāni pantāni senāsanāni paṭisevituṁ. Purā maṁ so dhammo āgacchati aniṭṭho akanto amanāpo; handāhaṁ paṭikacceva vīriyaṁ ārabhāmi appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya, yenāhaṁ dhammena samannāgato bhinnepi saṅghe phāsuṁ viharissāmī’ti. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, pañcamaṁ anāgatabhayaṁ sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā appamattena ātāpinā pahitattena viharituṁ appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāya.
Furthermore, a bhikkhu reflects: ‘Currently, the Saṅgha lives comfortably, in harmony, appreciating each other, without quarreling, with one recitation. But there will come a time of schism in the Saṅgha. When there is schism in the Saṅgha, it’s not easy to focus on the instructions of the Buddhas, and it’s not easy to frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest. Before that unlikable, undesirable, and disagreeable thing happens, I’d better preempt it by rousing up energy for attaining the unattained, achieving the unachieved, and realizing the unrealized. That way, when it happens, I’ll live comfortably even though there’s schism in the Saṅgha.’ This is the fifth future peril …
इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च अनागतभयानि सम्पस्समानेन अलमेव भिक्खुना अप्पमत्तेन आतापिना पहितत्तेन विहरितुं अप्पत्तस्स पत्तिया अनधिगतस्स अधिगमाय असच्छिकतस्स सच्छिकिरियाया”ति।
Imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca anāgatabhayāni sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā appamattena ātāpinā pahitattena viharituṁ appattassa pattiyā anadhigatassa adhigamāya asacchikatassa sacchikiriyāyā”ti.
These are the five future perils, seeing which is quite enough for a bhikkhu to meditate diligently, keenly, and resolutely for attaining the unattained, achieving the unachieved, and realizing the unrealized.”
