“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु मित्तो न सेवितब्बो। कतमेहि पञ्चहि? कम्मन्तं कारेति, अधिकरणं आदियति, पामोक्खेसु भिक्खूसु पटिविरुद्धो होति, दीघचारिकं अनवत्थचारिकं अनुयुत्तो विहरति, नप्पटिबलो होति कालेन कालं धम्मिया कथाय सन्दस्सेतुं समादपेतुं समुत्तेजेतुं सम्पहंसेतुं। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु मित्तो न सेवितब्बो।
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu mitto na sevitabbo. Katamehi pañcahi? Kammantaṁ kāreti, adhikaraṇaṁ ādiyati, pāmokkhesu bhikkhūsu paṭiviruddho hoti, dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ1 anuyutto viharati, nappaṭibalo hoti kālena kālaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandassetuṁ samādapetuṁ samuttejetuṁ sampahaṁsetuṁ. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu mitto na sevitabbo.
“Bhikkhus, you shouldn’t associate with a bhikkhu friend who has five qualities. What five? They start up work projects. They take up disciplinary issues. They conflict with leading bhikkhus. They like long and aimless wandering. They’re unable to educate, encourage, fire up, and inspire you from time to time with a Dhamma talk. Bhikkhus, you shouldn’t associate with a bhikkhu friend who has these five qualities.
