“छहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु दिट्ठेव धम्मे सुखसोमनस्सबहुलो विहरति, योनि चस्स आरद्धा होति आसवानं खयाय। कतमेहि छहि? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु धम्मारामो होति, भावनारामो होति, पहानारामो होति, पविवेकारामो होति, अब्यापज्झारामो होति, निप्पपञ्चारामो होति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, छहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु दिट्ठेव धम्मे सुखसोमनस्सबहुलो विहरति, योनि चस्स आरद्धा होति आसवानं खयाया”ति।
“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu diṭṭheva dhamme sukhasomanassabahulo viharati, yoni cassa āraddhā hoti āsavānaṁ khayāya. Katamehi chahi? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu dhammārāmo hoti, bhāvanārāmo hoti, pahānārāmo hoti, pavivekārāmo hoti, abyāpajjhārāmo hoti, nippapañcārāmo hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu diṭṭheva dhamme sukhasomanassabahulo viharati, yoni cassa āraddhā hoti āsavānaṁ khayāyā”ti.
“Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu has six things they’re full of joy and happiness in the present life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements. What six? It’s when a bhikkhu enjoys the teaching, meditation, giving up, seclusion, kindness, and non-proliferation. When a bhikkhu has these six things they’re full of joy and happiness in the present life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements.”
