Bad Principles (3rd)
“अधम्मो च, भिक्खवे, वेदितब्बो धम्मो च; अनत्थो च वेदितब्बो अत्थो च। अधम्मञ्च विदित्वा धम्मञ्च, अनत्थञ्च विदित्वा अत्थञ्च यथा धम्मो यथा अत्थो तथा पटिपज्जितब्बन्”ति।
“Adhammo ca, bhikkhave, veditabbo dhammo ca; anattho ca veditabbo attho ca. Adhammañca viditvā dhammañca, anatthañca viditvā atthañca yathā dhammo yathā attho tathā paṭipajjitabban”ti.
“Bhikkhus, you should know bad principles and good principles. And you should know bad results and good results. Knowing these things, your practice should follow the good principles with good results.”
इदमवोच भगवा। इदं वत्वान सुगतो उट्ठायासना विहारं पाविसि।
Idamavoca bhagavā. Idaṁ vatvāna sugato uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ pāvisi.
That is what the Buddha said. When he had spoken, the Holy One got up from his seat and entered his dwelling.
अथ खो तेसं भिक्खूनं अचिरपक्कन्तस्स भगवतो एतदहोसि: “इदं खो नो, आवुसो, भगवा सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसं उद्दिसित्वा वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभजित्वा उट्ठायासना विहारं पविट्ठो: ‘अधम्मो च, भिक्खवे, वेदितब्बो धम्मो च; अनत्थो च वेदितब्बो अत्थो च। अधम्मञ्च विदित्वा धम्मञ्च, अनत्थञ्च विदित्वा अत्थञ्च यथा धम्मो यथा अत्थो तथा पटिपज्जितब्बन्ऽति। को नु खो इमस्स भगवता सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसस्स उद्दिट्ठस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभत्तस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं विभजेय्या”ति?
Atha kho tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ acirapakkantassa bhagavato etadahosi: “idaṁ kho no, āvuso, bhagavā saṅkhittena uddesaṁ uddisitvā vitthārena atthaṁ avibhajitvā uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ paviṭṭho: ‘adhammo ca, bhikkhave, veditabbo dhammo ca; anattho ca veditabbo attho ca. Adhammañca viditvā dhammañca, anatthañca viditvā atthañca yathā dhammo yathā attho tathā paṭipajjitabban’ti. Ko nu kho imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajeyyā”ti?
Soon after the Buddha left, those bhikkhus considered, “The Buddha gave this brief passage for recitation, then entered his dwelling without explaining the meaning in detail. Who can explain in detail the meaning of this brief passage for recitation given by the Buddha?”
अथ खो तेसं भिक्खूनं एतदहोसि: “अयं खो आयस्मा आनन्दो सत्थु चेव संवण्णितो सम्भावितो च विञ्ञूनं सब्रह्मचारीनं। पहोति चायस्मा आनन्दो इमस्स भगवता सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसस्स उद्दिट्ठस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभत्तस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं विभजितुं। यन्नून मयं येनायस्मा आनन्दो तेनुपसङ्कमेय्याम; उपसङ्कमित्वा आयस्मन्तं आनन्दं एतमत्थं पटिपुच्छेय्याम। यथा नो आयस्मा आनन्दो ब्याकरिस्सति तथा नं धारेस्सामा”ति।
Atha kho tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi: “ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ. Pahoti cāyasmā ānando imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajituṁ. Yannūna mayaṁ yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkameyyāma; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etamatthaṁ paṭipuccheyyāma. Yathā no āyasmā ānando byākarissati tathā naṁ dhāressāmā”ti.
Then they considered, “This Venerable Ānanda is praised by the Buddha and esteemed by his sensible spiritual companions. He is capable of explaining in detail the meaning of this brief passage for recitation given by the Buddha. Let’s go to him, and ask him about this matter. As he answers, so we’ll remember it.”
अथ खो ते भिक्खू येनायस्मा आनन्दो तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु; उपसङ्कमित्वा आयस्मता आनन्देन सद्धिं सम्मोदिंसु। सम्मोदनीयं कथं सारणीयं वीतिसारेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदिंसु। एकमन्तं निसिन्ना खो ते भिक्खू आयस्मन्तं आनन्दं एतदवोचुं: “इदं खो नो, आवुसो आनन्द, भगवा सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसं उद्दिसित्वा वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभजित्वा उट्ठायासना विहारं पविट्ठो: ‘अधम्मो च …पे… तथा पटिपज्जितब्बन्ऽति। तेसं नो, आवुसो, अम्हाकं अचिरपक्कन्तस्स भगवतो एतदहोसि: ‘इदं खो नो, आवुसो, भगवता सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसं उद्दिसित्वा वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभजित्वा उट्ठायासना विहारं पविट्ठो—अधम्मो च …पे… तथा पटिपज्जितब्बन्ति। को नु खो इमस्स भगवता सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसस्स उद्दिट्ठस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभत्तस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं विभजेय्याऽति? तेसं नो, आवुसो, अम्हाकं एतदहोसि: ‘अयं खो आयस्मा आनन्दो सत्थु चेव संवण्णितो सम्भावितो च विञ्ञूनं सब्रह्मचारीनं। पहोति चायस्मा आनन्दो इमस्स भगवता सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसस्स उद्दिट्ठस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभत्तस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं विभजितुं। यन्नून मयं येनायस्मा आनन्दो तेनुपसङ्कमेय्याम; उपसङ्कमित्वा आयस्मन्तं आनन्दं एतमत्थं पटिपुच्छेय्याम। यथा नो आयस्मा आनन्दो ब्याकरिस्सति तथा नं धारेस्सामाऽति। विभजतु आयस्मा आनन्दो”ति।
Atha kho te bhikkhū yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodiṁsu. Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu. Ekamantaṁ nisinnā kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavocuṁ: “Idaṁ kho no, āvuso ānanda, bhagavā saṅkhittena uddesaṁ uddisitvā vitthārena atthaṁ avibhajitvā uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ paviṭṭho: ‘adhammo ca …pe… tathā paṭipajjitabban’ti. Tesaṁ no, āvuso, amhākaṁ acirapakkantassa bhagavato etadahosi: ‘idaṁ kho no, āvuso, bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesaṁ uddisitvā vitthārena atthaṁ avibhajitvā uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ paviṭṭho—adhammo ca …pe… tathā paṭipajjitabbanti. Ko nu kho imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajeyyā’ti? Tesaṁ no, āvuso, amhākaṁ etadahosi: ‘ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ. Pahoti cāyasmā ānando imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajituṁ.

Vibhajatu āyasmā ānando”ti.
Then those bhikkhus went to Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him. When the greetings and polite conversation were over, they sat down to one side. They told him what had happened, and said, “May Venerable Ānanda please explain this.”
“सेय्यथापि, आवुसो, पुरिसो सारत्थिको सारगवेसी सारपरियेसनं चरमानो महतो रुक्खस्स तिट्ठतो सारवतो अतिक्कम्मेव मूलं अतिक्कम्म खन्धं साखापलासे सारं परियेसितब्बं मञ्ञेय्य; एवंसम्पदमिदं आयस्मन्तानं सत्थरि सम्मुखीभूते तं भगवन्तं अतिसित्वा अम्हे एतमत्थं पटिपुच्छितब्बं मञ्ञथ। सो हावुसो, भगवा जानं जानाति पस्सं पस्सति, चक्खुभूतो ञाणभूतो धम्मभूतो ब्रह्मभूतो वत्ता पवत्ता अत्थस्स निन्नेता अमतस्स दाता धम्मस्सामी तथागतो। सो चेव पनेतस्स कालो अहोसि यं तुम्हे भगवन्तंयेव उपसङ्कमित्वा एतमत्थं पटिपुच्छेय्याथ। यथा वो भगवा ब्याकरेय्य तथा नं धारेय्याथा”ति।
“Seyyathāpi, āvuso, puriso sāratthiko sāragavesī sārapariyesanaṁ caramāno mahato rukkhassa tiṭṭhato sāravato atikkammeva mūlaṁ atikkamma khandhaṁ sākhāpalāse sāraṁ pariyesitabbaṁ maññeyya; evaṁsampadamidaṁ āyasmantānaṁ satthari sammukhībhūte taṁ bhagavantaṁ atisitvā amhe etamatthaṁ paṭipucchitabbaṁ maññatha.

“Friends, suppose there was a person in need of heartwood. And while wandering in search of heartwood he’d come across a large tree standing with heartwood. But he’d pass over the roots and trunk, imagining that the heartwood should be sought in the branches and leaves. Such is the consequence for the venerables. Though you were face to face with the Buddha, you overlooked him, imagining that you should ask me about this matter. For he is the Buddha, who knows and sees. He is vision, he is knowledge, he is the manifestation of principle, he is the manifestation of divinity. He is the teacher, the proclaimer, the elucidator of meaning, the bestower of the deathless, the lord of truth, the Realized One. That was the time to approach the Buddha and ask about this matter. You should have remembered it in line with the Buddha’s answer.”
“अद्धावुसो आनन्द, भगवा जानं जानाति पस्सं पस्सति चक्खुभूतो ञाणभूतो धम्मभूतो ब्रह्मभूतो वत्ता पवत्ता अत्थस्स निन्नेता अमतस्स दाता धम्मस्सामी तथागतो। सो चेव पनेतस्स कालो अहोसि यं मयं भगवन्तंयेव उपसङ्कमित्वा एतमत्थं पटिपुच्छेय्याम, यथा नो भगवा ब्याकरेय्य तथा नं धारेय्याम। अपि चायस्मा आनन्दो सत्थु चेव संवण्णितो सम्भावितो च विञ्ञूनं सब्रह्मचारीनं। पहोति चायस्मा आनन्दो इमस्स भगवता सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसस्स उद्दिट्ठस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभत्तस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं विभजितुं। विभजतायस्मा आनन्दो अगरुं कत्वा”ति।
“Addhāvuso ānanda, bhagavā jānaṁ jānāti passaṁ passati cakkhubhūto ñāṇabhūto dhammabhūto brahmabhūto vattā pavattā atthassa ninnetā amatassa dātā dhammassāmī tathāgato.

“Certainly he is the Buddha, who knows and sees. He is vision, he is knowledge, he is the manifestation of principle, he is the manifestation of divinity. He is the teacher, the proclaimer, the elucidator of meaning, the bestower of the deathless, the lord of truth, the Realized One. That was the time to approach the Buddha and ask about this matter. We should have remembered it in line with the Buddha’s answer. Still, Venerable Ānanda is praised by the Buddha and esteemed by his sensible spiritual companions. You are capable of explaining in detail the meaning of this brief passage for recitation given by the Buddha. Please explain this, if it’s no trouble.”
“तेनहावुसो, सुणाथ, साधुकं मनसि करोथ, भासिस्सामी”ति।
“Tenahāvuso, suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.
“Then listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.”
“एवमावुसो”ति खो ते भिक्खू आयस्मतो आनन्दस्स पच्चस्सोसुं। अथायस्मा आनन्दो एतदवोच:
“Evamāvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū āyasmato ānandassa paccassosuṁ. Athāyasmā ānando etadavoca:
“Yes, friend,” they replied. Ānanda said this:
“यं खो नो, आवुसो, भगवा सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसं उद्दिसित्वा वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभजित्वा उट्ठायासना विहारं पविट्ठो: ‘अधम्मो च, भिक्खवे, वेदितब्बो धम्मो च; अनत्थो च वेदितब्बो अत्थो च। अधम्मञ्च विदित्वा धम्मञ्च, अनत्थञ्च विदित्वा अत्थञ्च यथा धम्मो यथा अत्थो तथा पटिपज्जितब्बन्ऽति।
“Yaṁ kho no, āvuso, bhagavā saṅkhittena uddesaṁ uddisitvā vitthārena atthaṁ avibhajitvā uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ paviṭṭho: ‘adhammo ca, bhikkhave, veditabbo dhammo ca; anattho ca veditabbo attho ca. Adhammañca viditvā dhammañca, anatthañca viditvā atthañca yathā dhammo yathā attho tathā paṭipajjitabban’ti.
“Friends, the Buddha gave this brief passage for recitation, then entered his dwelling without explaining the meaning in detail: ‘You should know bad principles and good principles. And you should know bad results and good results. Knowing these things, your practice should follow the good principles with good results.’
कतमो चावुसो, अधम्मो, कतमो च धम्मो, कतमो च अनत्थो, कतमो च अत्थो?
Katamo cāvuso, adhammo, katamo ca dhammo, katamo ca anattho, katamo ca attho?
So what are bad principles? What are good principles? What are bad results? And what are good results?
मिच्छादिट्ठि, आवुसो, अधम्मो; सम्मादिट्ठि धम्मो; ये च मिच्छादिट्ठिपच्चया अनेके पापका अकुसला धम्मा सम्भवन्ति, अयं अनत्थो; सम्मादिट्ठिपच्चया च अनेके कुसला धम्मा भावनापारिपूरिं गच्छन्ति, अयं अत्थो।
Micchādiṭṭhi, āvuso, adhammo; sammādiṭṭhi dhammo; ye ca micchādiṭṭhipaccayā aneke pāpakā akusalā dhammā sambhavanti, ayaṁ anattho; sammādiṭṭhipaccayā ca aneke kusalā dhammā bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchanti, ayaṁ attho.
Wrong view is a bad principle. Right view is a good principle. And the many bad, unskillful qualities produced by wrong view are bad results. And the many skillful qualities fully developed because of right view are good results.

Wrong thought is a bad principle. Right thought is a good principle. … Wrong speech is a bad principle. Right speech is a good principle. … Wrong action is a bad principle. Right action is a good principle. … Wrong livelihood is a bad principle. Right livelihood is a good principle. … Wrong effort is a bad principle. Right effort is a good principle. … Wrong mindfulness is a bad principle. Right mindfulness is a good principle. … Wrong immersion is a bad principle. Right immersion is a good principle. … Wrong knowledge is a bad principle. Right knowledge is a good principle. …
मिच्छाविमुत्ति, आवुसो, अधम्मो; सम्माविमुत्ति धम्मो; ये च मिच्छाविमुत्तिपच्चया अनेके पापका अकुसला धम्मा सम्भवन्ति, अयं अनत्थो; सम्माविमुत्तिपच्चया च अनेके कुसला धम्मा भावनापारिपूरिं गच्छन्ति, अयं अत्थो।
Micchāvimutti, āvuso, adhammo; sammāvimutti dhammo; ye ca micchāvimuttipaccayā aneke pāpakā akusalā dhammā sambhavanti, ayaṁ anattho; sammāvimuttipaccayā ca aneke kusalā dhammā bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchanti, ayaṁ attho.
Wrong freedom is a bad principle. Right freedom is a good principle. And the many bad, unskillful qualities produced by wrong freedom are bad results. And the many skillful qualities fully developed because of right freedom are good results.
अयं खो नो, आवुसो, भगवा सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसं उद्दिसित्वा वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभजित्वा उट्ठायासना विहारं पविट्ठो: ‘अधम्मो च, भिक्खवे, वेदितब्बो धम्मो च …पे… तथा पटिपज्जितब्बन्ऽति, इमस्स खो अहं, आवुसो, भगवता सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसस्स उद्दिट्ठस्स वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभत्तस्स एवं वित्थारेन अत्थं आजानामि। आकङ्खमाना च पन तुम्हे, आवुसो, भगवन्तंयेव उपसङ्कमित्वा एतमत्थं पटिपुच्छेय्याथ। यथा वो भगवा ब्याकरोति तथा नं धारेय्याथा”ति।
Ayaṁ kho no, āvuso, bhagavā saṅkhittena uddesaṁ uddisitvā vitthārena atthaṁ avibhajitvā uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ paviṭṭho: ‘adhammo ca, bhikkhave, veditabbo dhammo ca …pe… tathā paṭipajjitabban’ti, imassa kho ahaṁ, āvuso, bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa evaṁ vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāmi.

The Buddha gave this brief passage for recitation, then entered his dwelling without explaining the meaning in detail: ‘You should know bad principles and good principles … and practice accordingly.’ And this is how I understand the detailed meaning of this passage for recitation. If you wish, you may go to the Buddha and ask him about this. You should remember it in line with the Buddha’s answer.”
“एवमावुसो”ति खो ते भिक्खू आयस्मतो आनन्दस्स भासितं अभिनन्दित्वा अनुमोदित्वा उट्ठायासना येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदिंसु। एकमन्तं निसिन्ना खो ते भिक्खू भगवन्तं एतदवोचुं:

“Yes, friend,” said those bhikkhus, approving and agreeing with what Ānanda said. Then they rose from their seats and went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. Then they said:
“यं खो नो भगवा सङ्खित्तेन उद्देसं उद्दिसित्वा वित्थारेन अत्थं अविभजित्वा उट्ठायासना विहारं पविट्ठो: ‘अधम्मो च, भिक्खवे, वेदितब्बो …पे… तथा पटिपज्जितब्बन्ऽति।

“Sir, we went to Ānanda and asked him about this matter. And Ānanda clearly explained the meaning to us in this manner, with these words and phrases.”
“साधु साधु, भिक्खवे। पण्डितो, भिक्खवे, आनन्दो। महापञ्ञो, भिक्खवे, आनन्दो। मञ्चेपि तुम्हे, भिक्खवे, उपसङ्कमित्वा एतमत्थं पटिपुच्छेय्याथ, अहम्पि चेतं एवमेवं ब्याकरेय्यं यथा तं आनन्देन ब्याकतं। एसो चेव तस्स अत्थो एवञ्च नं धारेय्याथा”ति।

“Good, good, bhikkhus! Ānanda is astute, he has great wisdom. If you came to me and asked this question, I would answer it in exactly the same way as Ānanda. That is what it means, and that’s how you should remember it.”
