“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु परहिताय पटिपन्नो होति, नो अत्तहिताय। कतमेहि पञ्चहि? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु अत्तना न सीलसम्पन्नो होति, परं सीलसम्पदाय समादपेति; अत्तना न समाधिसम्पन्नो होति, परं समाधिसम्पदाय समादपेति; अत्तना न पञ्ञासम्पन्नो होति, परं पञ्ञासम्पदाय समादपेति; अत्तना न विमुत्तिसम्पन्नो होति, परं विमुत्तिसम्पदाय समादपेति; अत्तना न विमुत्तिञाणदस्सनसम्पन्नो होति, परं विमुत्तिञाणदस्सनसम्पदाय समादपेति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु परहिताय पटिपन्नो होति, नो अत्तहिताया”ति।
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu parahitāya paṭipanno hoti, no attahitāya. Katamehi pañcahi? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu attanā na sīlasampanno hoti, paraṁ sīlasampadāya samādapeti; attanā na samādhisampanno hoti, paraṁ samādhisampadāya samādapeti; attanā na paññāsampanno hoti, paraṁ paññāsampadāya samādapeti; attanā na vimuttisampanno hoti, paraṁ vimuttisampadāya samādapeti; attanā na vimuttiñāṇadassanasampanno hoti, paraṁ vimuttiñāṇadassanasampadāya samādapeti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu parahitāya paṭipanno hoti, no attahitāyā”ti.
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu with five qualities is practicing for the welfare of others, but not their own. What five? It’s when a bhikkhu is not personally accomplished in ethics, immersion, wisdom, freedom, or the knowledge and vision of freedom. But they encourage others in these qualities. A bhikkhu with these five qualities is practicing for the welfare of others, but not their own.”
