Three Trainings (1st)
“तिस्सो इमा, भिक्खवे, सिक्खा। कतमा तिस्सो? अधिसीलसिक्खा, अधिचित्तसिक्खा, अधिपञ्ञासिक्खा।
“Tisso imā, bhikkhave, sikkhā. Katamā tisso? Adhisīlasikkhā, adhicittasikkhā, adhipaññāsikkhā.
“Bhikkhus, these are the three trainings. What three? The training in the higher ethics, the higher mind, and the higher wisdom.
कतमा च, भिक्खवे, अधिसीलसिक्खा? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सीलवा होति …पे… समादाय सिक्खति सिक्खापदेसु। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, अधिसीलसिक्खा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, adhisīlasikkhā? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlavā hoti …pe… samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, adhisīlasikkhā.
And what is the training in the higher ethics? It’s when a bhikkhu is ethical, restrained in the monastic code, conducting themselves well and seeking alms in suitable places. Seeing danger in the slightest fault, they keep the rules they’ve undertaken. This is called the training in the higher ethics.
कतमा च, भिक्खवे, अधिचित्तसिक्खा? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु विविच्चेव कामेहि …पे… चतुत्थं झानं उपसम्पज्ज विहरति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, अधिचित्तसिक्खा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, adhicittasikkhā? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu vivicceva kāmehi …pe… catutthaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharati. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, adhicittasikkhā.
And what is the training in the higher mind? It’s when a bhikkhu, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first jhāna … second jhāna … third jhāna … fourth jhāna. This is called the training in the higher mind.
कतमा च, भिक्खवे, अधिपञ्ञासिक्खा? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, अधिपञ्ञासिक्खा। इमा खो, भिक्खवे, तिस्सो सिक्खा”ति।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, adhipaññāsikkhā? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, adhipaññāsikkhā. Imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso sikkhā”ti.
And what is the training in the higher wisdom? They truly understand: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’. This is called the training in the higher wisdom. These are the three trainings.”
