Good Friends (2nd)
“सूरियस्स, भिक्खवे, उदयतो एतं पुब्बङ्गमं एतं पुब्बनिमित्तं, यदिदं—अरुणुग्गं; एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो अरियस्स अट्ठङ्गिकस्स मग्गस्स उप्पादाय एतं पुब्बङ्गमं एतं पुब्बनिमित्तं, यदिदं—कल्याणमित्तता। कल्याणमित्तस्सेतं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो पाटिकङ्खं—अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेस्सति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरिस्सति।
“Sūriyassa, bhikkhave, udayato etaṁ pubbaṅgamaṁ etaṁ pubbanimittaṁ, yadidaṁ—aruṇuggaṁ; evameva kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno ariyassa aṭṭhaṅgikassa maggassa uppādāya etaṁ pubbaṅgamaṁ etaṁ pubbanimittaṁ, yadidaṁ—kalyāṇamittatā. Kalyāṇamittassetaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pāṭikaṅkhaṁ—ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvessati, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkarissati.
“Bhikkhus, the dawn is the forerunner and precursor of the sunrise. In the same way good friendship is the forerunner and precursor of the noble eightfold path for a bhikkhu. A bhikkhu with good friends can expect to develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु कल्याणमित्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिं भावेति रागविनयपरियोसानं दोसविनयपरियोसानं मोहविनयपरियोसानं …पे… सम्मासमाधिं भावेति रागविनयपरियोसानं दोसविनयपरियोसानं मोहविनयपरियोसानं। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु कल्याणमित्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोती”ति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇamitto ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāveti, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaroti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti rāgavinayapariyosānaṁ dosavinayapariyosānaṁ mohavinayapariyosānaṁ …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti rāgavinayapariyosānaṁ dosavinayapariyosānaṁ mohavinayapariyosānaṁ. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇamitto ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāveti, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkarotī”ti.
And how does a bhikkhu with good friends develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path? It’s when a bhikkhu develops right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which culminate in the removal of greed, hate, and delusion. That’s how a bhikkhu with good friends develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path.”
