एकं समयं आयस्मा महाचुन्दो चेतीसु विहरति सहजातियं। तत्र खो आयस्मा महाचुन्दो भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “आवुसो भिक्खवे”ति।

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā mahācundo cetīsu viharati sahajātiyaṁ. Tatra kho āyasmā mahācundo bhikkhū āmantesi: “āvuso bhikkhave”ti.

At one time Venerable Mahācunda was staying in the land of the Cetīs at Sahajāti. There he addressed the bhikkhus: “Friends, bhikkhus!”

“आवुसो”ति खो ते भिक्खू आयस्मतो महाचुन्दस्स पच्चस्सोसुं। आयस्मा महाचुन्दो एतदवोच:

“Āvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū āyasmato mahācundassa paccassosuṁ. Āyasmā mahācundo etadavoca:

“Friend,” they replied. Venerable Mahācunda said this:

“ञाणवादं, आवुसो, भिक्खु वदमानो: ‘जानामिमं धम्मं, पस्सामिमं धम्मन्ऽति। तञ्चे, आवुसो, भिक्खुं लोभो अभिभुय्य तिट्ठति, दोसो … मोहो … कोधो … उपनाहो … मक्खो … पळासो … मच्छरियं … पापिका इस्सा … पापिका इच्छा अभिभुय्य तिट्ठति, सो एवमस्स वेदितब्बो: ‘नायमायस्मा तथा पजानाति यथा पजानतो लोभो न होति, तथाहिमं आयस्मन्तं लोभो अभिभुय्य तिट्ठति; नायमायस्मा तथा पजानाति यथा पजानतो दोसो न होति … मोहो … कोधो … उपनाहो … मक्खो … पळासो … मच्छरियं … पापिका इस्सा … पापिका इच्छा न होति, तथाहिमं आयस्मन्तं पापिका इच्छा अभिभुय्य तिट्ठतीऽति।

“Friends, a bhikkhu who makes a declaration of knowledge says: ‘I know this teaching, I see this teaching.’ Suppose that greed masters that bhikkhu and keeps going. Or that hate … delusion … anger … hostility … disdain … contempt … stinginess … nasty jealousy … or corrupt wishes master that bhikkhu and keep going. You should know of them: ‘This venerable does not have the understanding that would eliminate greed, so greed masters them and keeps going. They don’t have the understanding that would eliminate hate … delusion … anger … hostility … disdain … contempt … stinginess … nasty jealousy … or corrupt wishes, so corrupt wishes master them and keep going.’

A bhikkhu who makes a declaration of development says: ‘I am developed in physical endurance, ethics, mind, and wisdom.’ Suppose that greed masters that bhikkhu and keeps going.

Suppose a poor, needy, and penniless person was to declare themselves to be rich, affluent, and wealthy. But when it came time to make a payment they weren’t able to come up with any money, grain, silver, or gold. Then they would know of them: ‘This person declares themselves to be rich, affluent, and wealthy, but they are in fact poor, penniless, and needy.’ Why is that? Because when it came time to make a payment they weren’t able to come up with any money, grain, silver, or gold.
