Weaknesses in Training and the Bases of Psychic Power
“पञ्चिमानि, भिक्खवे, सिक्खादुब्बल्यानि। कतमानि पञ्च? पाणातिपातो …पे… सुरामेरयमज्जपमादट्ठानं—इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च सिक्खादुब्बल्यानि।
“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, sikkhādubbalyāni. Katamāni pañca? Pāṇātipāto …pe… surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānaṁ—imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca sikkhādubbalyāni.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five weaknesses when you’re training. What five? Killing living creatures, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and using alcoholic drinks that cause negligence. These are the five weaknesses when you’re training.
इमेसं खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चन्नं सिक्खादुब्बल्यानं पहानाय चत्तारो इद्धिपादा भावेतब्बा। कतमे चत्तारो? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु छन्दसमाधिपधानसङ्खारसमन्नागतं इद्धिपादं भावेति, वीरियसमाधि … चित्तसमाधि … वीमंसासमाधिपधानसङ्खारसमन्नागतं इद्धिपादं भावेति। इमेसं खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चन्नं सिक्खादुब्बल्यानं पहानाय इमे चत्तारो इद्धिपादा भावेतब्बा”ति।
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ sikkhādubbalyānaṁ pahānāya cattāro iddhipādā bhāvetabbā. Katame cattāro? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu chandasamādhipadhānasaṅkhārasamannāgataṁ iddhipādaṁ bhāveti, vīriyasamādhi … cittasamādhi … vīmaṁsāsamādhipadhānasaṅkhārasamannāgataṁ iddhipādaṁ bhāveti. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ sikkhādubbalyānaṁ pahānāya ime cattāro iddhipādā bhāvetabbā”ti.
To give up these five weaknesses in your training you should develop the four bases of psychic power. What four? It’s when a bhikkhu develops the basis of psychic power that has immersion due to enthusiasm, and active effort. They develop the basis of psychic power that has immersion due to energy, and active effort. They develop the basis of psychic power that has immersion due to mental development, and active effort. They develop the basis of psychic power that has immersion due to inquiry, and active effort. To give up these five weaknesses in your training you should develop these four bases of psychic power.”
