“चतस्सो इमा, भिक्खवे, पटिपदा। कतमा चतस्सो? अक्खमा पटिपदा, खमा पटिपदा, दमा पटिपदा, समा पटिपदा।
“Catasso imā, bhikkhave, paṭipadā. Katamā catasso? Akkhamā paṭipadā, khamā paṭipadā, damā paṭipadā, samā paṭipadā.
“Bhikkhus, there are four ways of practice. What four? Impatient practice, patient practice, taming practice, and calming practice.
कतमा च, भिक्खवे, अक्खमा पटिपदा? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो अक्खमो होति सीतस्स उण्हस्स जिघच्छाय पिपासाय, डंसमकसवातातपसरीसपसम्फस्सानं दुरुत्तानं दुरागतानं वचनपथानं उप्पन्नानं सारीरिकानं वेदनानं दुक्खानं तिब्बानं खरानं कटुकानं असातानं अमनापानं पाणहरानं अनधिवासकजातिको होति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, अक्खमा पटिपदा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, akkhamā paṭipadā? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco akkhamo hoti sītassa uṇhassa jighacchāya pipāsāya, ḍaṁsamakasavātātapasarīsapasamphassānaṁ duruttānaṁ durāgatānaṁ vacanapathānaṁ uppannānaṁ sārīrikānaṁ vedanānaṁ dukkhānaṁ tibbānaṁ kharānaṁ kaṭukānaṁ asātānaṁ amanāpānaṁ pāṇaharānaṁ anadhivāsakajātiko hoti. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, akkhamā paṭipadā.
And what’s the impatient practice? It’s when a bhikkhu cannot endure cold, heat, hunger, and thirst. They cannot endure the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, and reptiles. They cannot endure rude and unwelcome criticism. And they cannot put up with physical pain—sharp, severe, acute, unpleasant, disagreeable, and life-threatening. This is called the impatient practice.
कतमा च, भिक्खवे, खमा पटिपदा? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो खमो होति सीतस्स उण्हस्स जिघच्छाय पिपासाय, डंसमकसवातातपसरीसपसम्फस्सानं दुरुत्तानं दुरागतानं वचनपथानं उप्पन्नानं सारीरिकानं वेदनानं दुक्खानं तिब्बानं खरानं कटुकानं असातानं अमनापानं पाणहरानं अधिवासकजातिको होति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, खमा पटिपदा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, khamā paṭipadā?

Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, khamā paṭipadā.

कतमा च, भिक्खवे, दमा पटिपदा? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु चक्खुना रूपं दिस्वा न निमित्तग्गाही होति …पे… सोतेन सद्दं सुत्वा … घानेन गन्धं घायित्वा … जिव्हाय रसं सायित्वा … कायेन फोट्ठब्बं फुसित्वा … मनसा धम्मं विञ्ञाय न निमित्तग्गाही होति नानुब्यञ्जनग्गाही; यत्वाधिकरणमेनं मनिन्द्रियं असंवुतं विहरन्तं अभिज्झादोमनस्सा पापका अकुसला धम्मा अन्वास्सवेय्युं, तस्स संवराय पटिपज्जति; रक्खति मनिन्द्रियं; मनिन्द्रिये संवरं आपज्जति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, दमा पटिपदा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, damā paṭipadā? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu cakkhunā rūpaṁ disvā na nimittaggāhī hoti …pe… sotena saddaṁ sutvā … ghānena gandhaṁ ghāyitvā … jivhāya rasaṁ sāyitvā … kāyena phoṭṭhabbaṁ phusitvā … manasā dhammaṁ viññāya na nimittaggāhī hoti nānubyañjanaggāhī; yatvādhikaraṇamenaṁ manindriyaṁ asaṁvutaṁ viharantaṁ abhijjhādomanassā pāpakā akusalā dhammā anvāssaveyyuṁ, tassa saṁvarāya paṭipajjati; rakkhati manindriyaṁ; manindriye saṁvaraṁ āpajjati. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, damā paṭipadā.
And what’s the taming practice? When a bhikkhu sees a sight with their eyes, they don’t get caught up in the features and details. … When they hear a sound with their ears … When they smell an odor with their nose … When they taste a flavor with their tongue … When they feel a touch with their body … When they know a thought with their mind, they don’t get caught up in the features and details. If the faculty of mind were left unrestrained, bad unskillful qualities of covetousness and displeasure would become overwhelming. For this reason, they practice restraint, protecting the faculty of mind, and achieving restraint over it. This is called the taming practice.
कतमा च, भिक्खवे, समा पटिपदा? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु उप्पन्नं कामवितक्कं नाधिवासेति पजहति विनोदेति समेति ब्यन्तीकरोति अनभावं गमेति, उप्पन्नं ब्यापादवितक्कं …पे… उप्पन्नं विहिंसावितक्कं … उप्पन्नुप्पन्ने पापके अकुसले धम्मे नाधिवासेति पजहति विनोदेति समेति ब्यन्तीकरोति अनभावं गमेति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, समा पटिपदा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, samā paṭipadā? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu uppannaṁ kāmavitakkaṁ nādhivāseti pajahati vinodeti sameti byantīkaroti anabhāvaṁ gameti, uppannaṁ byāpādavitakkaṁ …pe… uppannaṁ vihiṁsāvitakkaṁ … uppannuppanne pāpake akusale dhamme nādhivāseti pajahati vinodeti sameti byantīkaroti anabhāvaṁ gameti. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, samā paṭipadā.
And what’s the calming practice? It’s when a bhikkhu doesn’t tolerate a sensual, malicious, or cruel thought. They don’t tolerate any bad, unskillful qualities that have arisen, but give them up, get rid of them, calm them, eliminate them, and obliterate them. This is called the calming practice.
इमा खो, भिक्खवे, चतस्सो पटिपदा”ति।
Imā kho, bhikkhave, catasso paṭipadā”ti.
These are the four ways of practice.”
