“පඤ්චිමේ, භික්ඛවේ, ආදීනවා අපාසාදිකේ. කතමේ පඤ්ච? අප්පසන්නා නප්පසීදන්ති, පසන්නානඤ්ච ඒකච්චානං අඤ්ඤථත්තං හෝති, සත්ථුසාසනං අකතං හෝති, පච්ඡිමා ජනතා දිට්ඨානුගතිං ආපජ්ජති, චිත්තමස්ස නප්පසීදති. ඉමේ ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, පඤ්ච ආදීනවා අපාසාදිකේ.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five drawbacks of uninspiring conduct. What five? You don’t inspire confidence in those without it. You cause some with confidence to change their minds. You don’t follow the Teacher’s instructions. Those who come after you follow your example. And your mind doesn’t become clear. These are the five drawbacks of uninspiring conduct.
පඤ්චිමේ, භික්ඛවේ, ආනිසංසා පාසාදිකේ. කතමේ පඤ්ච? අප්පසන්නා පසීදන්ති, පසන්නානඤ්ච භිය්‍යෝභාවෝ හෝති, සත්ථුසාසනං කතං හෝති, පච්ඡිමා ජනතා දිට්ඨානුගතිං ආපජ්ජති, චිත්තමස්ස පසීදති. ඉමේ ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, පඤ්ච ආනිසංසා පාසාදිකේ”ති.
There are these five benefits of inspiring conduct. What five? You inspire confidence in those without it. You increase confidence in those who have it. You follow the Teacher’s instructions. Those who come after you follow your example. And your mind becomes clear. These are the five benefits of inspiring conduct.”
