The Counterfeit of the True Teaching
एवं मे सुतं—एकं समयं भगवा सावत्थियं विहरति जेतवने अनाथपिण्डिकस्स आरामे। अथ खो आयस्मा महाकस्सपो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो आयस्मा महाकस्सपो भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā mahākassapo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Then Venerable Mahākassapa went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“को नु खो, भन्ते, हेतु को पच्चयो, येन पुब्बे अप्पतरानि चेव सिक्खापदानि अहेसुं बहुतरा च भिक्खू अञ्ञाय सण्ठहिंसु? को पन, भन्ते, हेतु को पच्चयो, येनेतरहि बहुतरानि चेव सिक्खापदानि अप्पतरा च भिक्खू अञ्ञाय सण्ठहन्ती”ति?
“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu ko paccayo, yena pubbe appatarāni ceva sikkhāpadāni ahesuṁ bahutarā ca bhikkhū aññāya saṇṭhahiṁsu? Ko pana, bhante, hetu ko paccayo, yenetarahi bahutarāni ceva sikkhāpadāni appatarā ca bhikkhū aññāya saṇṭhahantī”ti?
“What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why there used to be fewer training rules but more enlightened bhikkhus? And what is the cause, what is the reason why these days there are more training rules and fewer enlightened bhikkhus?”
“एवञ्चेतं, कस्सप, होति सत्तेसु हायमानेसु सद्धम्मे अन्तरधायमाने, बहुतरानि चेव सिक्खापदानि होन्ति अप्पतरा च भिक्खू अञ्ञाय सण्ठहन्ति। न ताव, कस्सप, सद्धम्मस्स अन्तरधानं होति याव न सद्धम्मप्पतिरूपकं लोके उप्पज्जति। यतो च खो, कस्सप, सद्धम्मप्पतिरूपकं लोके उप्पज्जति, अथ सद्धम्मस्स अन्तरधानं होति।
“Evañcetaṁ, kassapa, hoti sattesu hāyamānesu saddhamme antaradhāyamāne, bahutarāni ceva sikkhāpadāni honti appatarā ca bhikkhū aññāya saṇṭhahanti. Na tāva, kassapa, saddhammassa antaradhānaṁ hoti yāva na saddhammappatirūpakaṁ1 loke uppajjati. Yato ca kho, kassapa, saddhammappatirūpakaṁ loke uppajjati, atha saddhammassa antaradhānaṁ hoti.
“That’s how it is, Kassapa. When sentient beings are in decline and the true teaching is disappearing there are more training rules and fewer enlightened bhikkhus. The true teaching doesn’t disappear as long the counterfeit of the true teaching hasn’t appeared in the world. But when the counterfeit of the true teaching appears in the world then the true teaching disappears.
सेय्यथापि, कस्सप, न ताव जातरूपस्स अन्तरधानं होति याव न जातरूपप्पतिरूपकं लोके उप्पज्जति। यतो च खो, कस्सप, जातरूपप्पतिरूपकं लोके उप्पज्जति, अथ खो जातरूपस्स अन्तरधानं होति।
Seyyathāpi, kassapa, na tāva jātarūpassa antaradhānaṁ hoti yāva na jātarūpappatirūpakaṁ loke uppajjati. Yato ca kho, kassapa, jātarūpappatirūpakaṁ loke uppajjati, atha kho jātarūpassa antaradhānaṁ hoti.
It’s like true gold, which doesn’t disappear as long as counterfeit gold hasn’t appeared in the world. But when counterfeit gold appears in the world then real gold disappears.
एवमेव खो, कस्सप, न ताव सद्धम्मस्स अन्तरधानं होति याव न सद्धम्मप्पतिरूपकं लोके उप्पज्जति। यतो च खो, कस्सप, सद्धम्मप्पतिरूपकं लोके उप्पज्जति, अथ सद्धम्मस्स अन्तरधानं होति।
Evameva kho, kassapa, na tāva saddhammassa antaradhānaṁ hoti yāva na saddhammappatirūpakaṁ loke uppajjati. Yato ca kho, kassapa, saddhammappatirūpakaṁ loke uppajjati, atha saddhammassa antaradhānaṁ hoti.
In the same way, the true teaching doesn’t disappear as long the counterfeit of the true teaching hasn’t appeared in the world. But when the counterfeit of the true teaching appears in the world then the true teaching disappears.
न खो, कस्सप, पथवीधातु सद्धम्मं अन्तरधापेति, न आपोधातु सद्धम्मं अन्तरधापेति, न तेजोधातु सद्धम्मं अन्तरधापेति, न वायोधातु सद्धम्मं अन्तरधापेति; अथ खो इधेव ते उप्पज्जन्ति मोघपुरिसा ये इमं सद्धम्मं अन्तरधापेन्ति। सेय्यथापि, कस्सप, नावा आदिकेनेव ओपिलवति; न खो, कस्सप, एवं सद्धम्मस्स अन्तरधानं होति।
Na kho, kassapa, pathavīdhātu saddhammaṁ antaradhāpeti, na āpodhātu saddhammaṁ antaradhāpeti, na tejodhātu saddhammaṁ antaradhāpeti, na vāyodhātu saddhammaṁ antaradhāpeti; atha kho idheva te uppajjanti moghapurisā ye imaṁ saddhammaṁ antaradhāpenti. Seyyathāpi, kassapa, nāvā ādikeneva opilavati; na kho, kassapa, evaṁ saddhammassa antaradhānaṁ hoti.
It’s not the elements of earth, water, fire, or air that make the true teaching disappear. Rather, it’s the foolish people who appear right here that make the true teaching disappear. The true teaching doesn’t disappear like a ship that sinks all at once.
पञ्च खोमे, कस्सप, ओक्कमनिया धम्मा सद्धम्मस्स सम्मोसाय अन्तरधानाय संवत्तन्ति। कतमे पञ्च? इध, कस्सप, भिक्खू भिक्खुनियो उपासका उपासिकायो सत्थरि अगारवा विहरन्ति अप्पतिस्सा, धम्मे अगारवा विहरन्ति अप्पतिस्सा, सङ्घे अगारवा विहरन्ति अप्पतिस्सा, सिक्खाय अगारवा विहरन्ति अप्पतिस्सा, समाधिस्मिं अगारवा विहरन्ति अप्पतिस्सा—इमे खो, कस्सप, पञ्च ओक्कमनिया धम्मा सद्धम्मस्स सम्मोसाय अन्तरधानाय संवत्तन्ति।
Pañca khome, kassapa, okkamaniyā dhammā saddhammassa sammosāya antaradhānāya saṁvattanti. Katame pañca? Idha, kassapa, bhikkhū bhikkhuniyo upāsakā upāsikāyo satthari agāravā viharanti appatissā, dhamme agāravā viharanti appatissā, saṅghe agāravā viharanti appatissā, sikkhāya agāravā viharanti appatissā, samādhismiṁ agāravā viharanti appatissā—ime kho, kassapa, pañca okkamaniyā dhammā saddhammassa sammosāya antaradhānāya saṁvattanti.
There are five detrimental things that lead to the decline and disappearance of the true teaching. What five? It’s when the monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen lack respect and reverence for the Teacher, the teaching, the Saṅgha, the training, and immersion. These five detrimental things lead to the decline and disappearance of the true teaching.
पञ्च खोमे, कस्सप, धम्मा सद्धम्मस्स ठितिया असम्मोसाय अनन्तरधानाय संवत्तन्ति। कतमे पञ्च? इध, कस्सप, भिक्खू भिक्खुनियो उपासका उपासिकायो सत्थरि सगारवा विहरन्ति सप्पतिस्सा, धम्मे सगारवा विहरन्ति सप्पतिस्सा, सङ्घे सगारवा विहरन्ति सप्पतिस्सा, सिक्खाय सगारवा विहरन्ति सप्पतिस्सा, समाधिस्मिं सगारवा विहरन्ति सप्पतिस्सा—इमे खो, कस्सप, पञ्च धम्मा सद्धम्मस्स ठितिया असम्मोसाय अनन्तरधानाय संवत्तन्ती”ति।
Pañca khome, kassapa, dhammā saddhammassa ṭhitiyā asammosāya anantaradhānāya saṁvattanti. Katame pañca? Idha, kassapa, bhikkhū bhikkhuniyo upāsakā upāsikāyo satthari sagāravā viharanti sappatissā, dhamme sagāravā viharanti sappatissā, saṅghe sagāravā viharanti sappatissā, sikkhāya sagāravā viharanti sappatissā, samādhismiṁ sagāravā viharanti sappatissā—ime kho, kassapa, pañca dhammā saddhammassa ṭhitiyā asammosāya anantaradhānāya saṁvattantī”ti.
There are five things that lead to the continuation, persistence, and enduring of the true teaching. What five? It’s when the monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen maintain respect and reverence for the Teacher, the teaching, the Saṅgha, the training, and immersion. These five things lead to the continuation, persistence, and enduring of the true teaching.”
