With Puṇṇiya
अथ खो आयस्मा पुण्णियो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो आयस्मा पुण्णियो भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Atha kho āyasmā puṇṇiyo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā puṇṇiyo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Then Venerable Puṇṇiya went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“को नु खो, भन्ते, हेतु को पच्चयो येन अप्पेकदा तथागतं धम्मदेसना पटिभाति, अप्पेकदा न पटिभाती”ति?
“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena appekadā tathāgataṁ dhammadesanā paṭibhāti, appekadā na paṭibhātī”ti?
“Sir, what is the cause, what is the reason why sometimes the Realized One feels inspired to teach, and other times not?”
“सद्धो च, पुण्णिय, भिक्खु होति, नो चुपसङ्कमिता; नेव तथागतं धम्मदेसना पटिभाति। यतो च खो, पुण्णिय, भिक्खु सद्धो च होति, उपसङ्कमिता च; एवं तथागतं धम्मदेसना पटिभाति। सद्धो च, पुण्णिय, भिक्खु होति, उपसङ्कमिता च, नो च पयिरुपासिता …पे… पयिरुपासिता च, नो च परिपुच्छिता … परिपुच्छिता च, नो च ओहितसोतो धम्मं सुणाति … ओहितसोतो च धम्मं सुणाति, नो च सुत्वा धम्मं धारेति … सुत्वा च धम्मं धारेति, नो च धातानं धम्मानं अत्थं उपपरिक्खति … धातानञ्च धम्मानं अत्थं उपपरिक्खति, नो च अत्थमञ्ञाय धम्ममञ्ञाय धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्नो होति। नेव ताव तथागतं धम्मदेसना पटिभाति।
“Saddho ca, puṇṇiya, bhikkhu hoti, no cupasaṅkamitā; neva tathāgataṁ dhammadesanā paṭibhāti. Yato ca kho, puṇṇiya, bhikkhu saddho ca hoti, upasaṅkamitā ca; evaṁ tathāgataṁ dhammadesanā paṭibhāti. Saddho ca, puṇṇiya, bhikkhu hoti, upasaṅkamitā ca, no ca payirupāsitā …pe… payirupāsitā ca, no ca paripucchitā … paripucchitā ca, no ca ohitasoto dhammaṁ suṇāti … ohitasoto ca dhammaṁ suṇāti, no ca sutvā dhammaṁ dhāreti … sutvā ca dhammaṁ dhāreti, no ca dhātānaṁ dhammānaṁ atthaṁ upaparikkhati … dhātānañca dhammānaṁ atthaṁ upaparikkhati, no ca atthamaññāya dhammamaññāya dhammānudhammappaṭipanno hoti. Neva tāva tathāgataṁ dhammadesanā paṭibhāti.
“Puṇṇiya, when a bhikkhu has faith but doesn’t approach, the Realized One doesn’t feel inspired to teach. But when a bhikkhu has faith and approaches, the Realized One feels inspired to teach. When a bhikkhu has faith and approaches, but doesn’t pay homage … they pay homage, but don’t ask questions … they ask questions, but don’t actively listen … they actively listen, but don’t remember the teaching they’ve heard … they remember the teaching they’ve heard, but don’t reflect on the meaning of the teachings they’ve remembered … they reflect on the meaning of the teachings they’ve remembered, but, having understood the meaning and the teaching, they don’t practice accordingly. The Realized One doesn’t feel inspired to teach.
यतो च खो, पुण्णिय, भिक्खु सद्धो च होति, उपसङ्कमिता च, पयिरुपासिता च, परिपुच्छिता च, ओहितसोतो च धम्मं सुणाति, सुत्वा च धम्मं धारेति, धातानञ्च धम्मानं अत्थं उपपरिक्खति, अत्थमञ्ञाय धम्ममञ्ञाय धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्नो च होति; एवं तथागतं धम्मदेसना पटिभाति। इमेहि खो, पुण्णिय, अट्ठहि धम्मेहि समन्नागता एकन्तपटिभाना तथागतं धम्मदेसना होती”ति।
Yato ca kho, puṇṇiya, bhikkhu saddho ca hoti, upasaṅkamitā ca, payirupāsitā ca, paripucchitā ca, ohitasoto ca dhammaṁ suṇāti, sutvā ca dhammaṁ dhāreti, dhātānañca dhammānaṁ atthaṁ upaparikkhati, atthamaññāya dhammamaññāya dhammānudhammappaṭipanno ca hoti; evaṁ tathāgataṁ dhammadesanā paṭibhāti. Imehi kho, puṇṇiya, aṭṭhahi dhammehi samannāgatā1 ekantapaṭibhānā tathāgataṁ dhammadesanā hotī”ti.
But when a bhikkhu has faith, approaches, pays homage, asks questions, actively listens, remembers the teachings, reflects on the meaning, and practices accordingly, the Realized One feels inspired to teach. When someone has these eight qualities, the Realized One feels totally inspired to teach.”
