    “सद्धो च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु होति, नो च सीलवा। एवं सो तेनङ्गेन अपरिपूरो होति। तेन तं अङ्गं परिपूरेतब्बं: ‘किन्ताहं सद्धो च अस्सं सीलवा चाऽति। यतो च खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सद्धो च होति सीलवा च, एवं सो तेनङ्गेन परिपूरो होति।

    “Saddho ca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu hoti, no ca1 sīlavā. Evaṁ so tenaṅgena aparipūro hoti. Tena taṁ aṅgaṁ paripūretabbaṁ: ‘kintāhaṁ saddho ca assaṁ sīlavā cā’ti. Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho ca hoti sīlavā ca, evaṁ so tenaṅgena paripūro hoti.

    “Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu is faithful but not ethical. So they’re incomplete in that respect, and should fulfill it, thinking: ‘How can I become faithful and ethical?’ When the bhikkhu is faithful and ethical, they’re complete in that respect.

    सद्धो च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु होति सीलवा च, नो च बहुस्सुतो। एवं सो तेनङ्गेन अपरिपूरो होति। तेन तं अङ्गं परिपूरेतब्बं: ‘किन्ताहं सद्धो च अस्सं, सीलवा च, बहुस्सुतो चाऽति। यतो च खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सद्धो च होति सीलवा च बहुस्सुतो च, एवं सो तेनङ्गेन परिपूरो होति।

    Saddho ca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu hoti sīlavā ca, no ca bahussuto. Evaṁ so tenaṅgena aparipūro hoti. Tena taṁ aṅgaṁ paripūretabbaṁ: ‘kintāhaṁ saddho ca assaṁ, sīlavā ca, bahussuto cā’ti. Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho ca hoti sīlavā ca bahussuto ca, evaṁ so tenaṅgena paripūro hoti.

    A bhikkhu is faithful and ethical, but not learned. So they’re incomplete in that respect, and should fulfill it, thinking: ‘How can I become faithful, ethical, and learned?’ When the bhikkhu is faithful, ethical, and learned, they’re complete in that respect.

    सद्धो च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु होति सीलवा च बहुस्सुतो च, नो च धम्मकथिको …पे… धम्मकथिको च, नो च परिसावचरो …पे… परिसावचरो च, नो च विसारदो परिसाय धम्मं देसेति …पे… विसारदो च परिसाय धम्मं देसेति, नो च चतुन्नं झानानं आभिचेतसिकानं दिट्ठधम्मसुखविहारानं निकामलाभी होति अकिच्छलाभी अकसिरलाभी …पे… चतुन्नं झानानं आभिचेतसिकानं दिट्ठधम्मसुखविहारानं निकामलाभी होति अकिच्छलाभी अकसिरलाभी, नो च आसवानं खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति; एवं सो तेनङ्गेन अपरिपूरो होति। तेन तं अङ्गं परिपूरेतब्बं: ‘किन्ताहं सद्धो च अस्सं, सीलवा च, बहुस्सुतो च, धम्मकथिको च, परिसावचरो च, विसारदो च परिसाय धम्मं देसेय्यं, चतुन्नञ्च झानानं आभिचेतसिकानं दिट्ठधम्मसुखविहारानं निकामलाभी अस्सं अकिच्छलाभी अकसिरलाभी, आसवानञ्च खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरेय्यन्ऽति।

    Saddho ca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu hoti sīlavā ca bahussuto ca, no ca dhammakathiko …pe… dhammakathiko ca, no ca parisāvacaro …pe… parisāvacaro ca, no ca visārado parisāya dhammaṁ deseti …pe… visārado ca parisāya dhammaṁ deseti, no ca catunnaṁ jhānānaṁ ābhicetasikānaṁ diṭṭhadhammasukhavihārānaṁ nikāmalābhī hoti akicchalābhī akasiralābhī …pe… catunnaṁ jhānānaṁ ābhicetasikānaṁ diṭṭhadhammasukhavihārānaṁ nikāmalābhī hoti akicchalābhī akasiralābhī, no ca āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati; evaṁ so tenaṅgena aparipūro hoti. Tena taṁ aṅgaṁ paripūretabbaṁ: ‘kintāhaṁ saddho ca assaṁ, sīlavā ca, bahussuto ca, dhammakathiko ca, parisāvacaro ca, visārado ca parisāya dhammaṁ deseyyaṁ, catunnañca jhānānaṁ ābhicetasikānaṁ diṭṭhadhammasukhavihārānaṁ nikāmalābhī assaṁ akicchalābhī akasiralābhī, āsavānañca khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihareyyan’ti.

    A bhikkhu is faithful, ethical, and learned, but not a Dhamma speaker. … they don’t frequent assemblies … they don’t teach Dhamma to the assembly with assurance … they don’t get the four jhānas—blissful meditations in the present life that belong to the higher mind—when they want, without trouble or difficulty … they don’t realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life, and live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements. So they’re incomplete in that respect, and should fulfill it, thinking: ‘How can I become faithful, ethical, and learned, a Dhamma speaker, one who frequents assemblies, one who teaches Dhamma to the assembly with assurance, one who gets the four jhānas when they want, and one who lives having realized the ending of defilements?’

    यतो च खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सद्धो च होति, सीलवा च, बहुस्सुतो च, धम्मकथिको च, परिसावचरो च, विसारदो च परिसाय धम्मं देसेति, चतुन्नञ्च झानानं आभिचेतसिकानं दिट्ठधम्मसुखविहारानं निकामलाभी होति अकिच्छलाभी अकसिरलाभी, आसवानञ्च खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति; एवं सो तेनङ्गेन परिपूरो होति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, अट्ठहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु समन्तपासादिको च होति सब्बाकारपरिपूरो चा”ति।

    Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho ca hoti, sīlavā ca, bahussuto ca, dhammakathiko ca, parisāvacaro ca, visārado ca parisāya dhammaṁ deseti, catunnañca jhānānaṁ ābhicetasikānaṁ diṭṭhadhammasukhavihārānaṁ nikāmalābhī hoti akicchalābhī akasiralābhī, āsavānañca khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati; evaṁ so tenaṅgena paripūro hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, aṭṭhahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu samantapāsādiko ca hoti sabbākāraparipūro cā”ti.

    When they’re faithful, ethical, and learned, a Dhamma speaker, one who frequents assemblies, one who teaches Dhamma to the assembly with assurance, one who gets the four jhānas when they want, and one who lives having realized the ending of defilements, they’re complete in that respect. A bhikkhu who has these eight qualities is inspiring all around, and is complete in every respect.”
