When Conversation Flows
“तीहि, भिक्खवे, ठानेहि कथा पवत्तिनी होति। कतमेहि तीहि? यो धम्मं देसेति सो अत्थप्पटिसंवेदी च होति धम्मप्पटिसंवेदी च। यो धम्मं सुणाति सो अत्थप्पटिसंवेदी च होति धम्मप्पटिसंवेदी च। यो चेव धम्मं देसेति यो च धम्मं सुणाति उभो अत्थप्पटिसंवेदिनो च होन्ति धम्मप्पटिसंवेदिनो च। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, तीहि ठानेहि कथा पवत्तिनी होती”ति।
“Tīhi, bhikkhave, ṭhānehi kathā pavattinī hoti. Katamehi tīhi? Yo dhammaṁ deseti so atthappaṭisaṁvedī ca hoti dhammappaṭisaṁvedī ca. Yo dhammaṁ suṇāti so atthappaṭisaṁvedī ca hoti dhammappaṭisaṁvedī ca. Yo ceva dhammaṁ deseti yo ca dhammaṁ suṇāti ubho atthappaṭisaṁvedino ca honti dhammappaṭisaṁvedino ca. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi ṭhānehi kathā pavattinī hotī”ti.
“In three situations, bhikkhus, conversation flows. What three? When the teacher understands the meaning and the teaching. When the audience understands the meaning and the teaching. When both the teacher and the audience understand the meaning and the teaching. These are the three situations in which conversation flows.”
