Bad Character (3rd)
“पापधम्मञ्च वो, भिक्खवे, देसेस्सामि, पापधम्मेन पापधम्मतरञ्च; कल्याणधम्मञ्च, कल्याणधम्मेन कल्याणधम्मतरञ्च। तं सुणाथ …पे…।
“Pāpadhammañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi, pāpadhammena pāpadhammatarañca; kalyāṇadhammañca, kalyāṇadhammena kalyāṇadhammatarañca. Taṁ suṇātha …pe….
“Bhikkhus, I will teach you bad character and worse character, good character and better character.
“कतमो च, भिक्खवे, पापधम्मो? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो पाणातिपाती होति …पे… मिच्छादिट्ठिको होति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, पापधम्मो।
“Katamo ca, bhikkhave, pāpadhammo? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco pāṇātipātī hoti …pe… micchādiṭṭhiko hoti. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, pāpadhammo.
And who has bad character? It’s someone who kills living creatures, steals, and commits sexual misconduct. They use speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical. And they’re covetous, malicious, with wrong view. This is called bad character.
कतमो च, भिक्खवे, पापधम्मेन पापधम्मतरो? इध भिक्खवे, एकच्चो अत्तना च पाणातिपाती होति, परञ्च पाणातिपाते समादपेति …पे… अत्तना च मिच्छादिट्ठिको होति, परञ्च मिच्छादिट्ठिया समादपेति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, पापधम्मेन पापधम्मतरो।
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, pāpadhammena pāpadhammataro? Idha bhikkhave, ekacco attanā ca pāṇātipātī hoti, parañca pāṇātipāte samādapeti …pe… attanā ca micchādiṭṭhiko hoti, parañca micchādiṭṭhiyā samādapeti. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, pāpadhammena pāpadhammataro.
And who has worse character? It’s someone who kills living creatures, steals, and commits sexual misconduct. They use speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical. They’re covetous, malicious, with wrong view. And they encourage others to do these things. This is called worse character.
कतमो च, भिक्खवे, कल्याणधम्मो? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो पाणातिपाता पटिविरतो होति …पे… सम्मादिट्ठिको होति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, कल्याणधम्मो।
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, kalyāṇadhammo? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti …pe… sammādiṭṭhiko hoti. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, kalyāṇadhammo.
And who has good character? It’s someone who doesn’t kill living creatures, steal, or commit sexual misconduct. They don’t use speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical. And they’re contented, kind-hearted, with right view. This is called good character.
कतमो च, भिक्खवे, कल्याणधम्मेन कल्याणधम्मतरो? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो अत्तना च पाणातिपाता पटिविरतो होति, परञ्च पाणातिपाता वेरमणिया समादपेति …पे… अत्तना च सम्मादिट्ठिको होति, परञ्च सम्मादिट्ठिया समादपेति। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, कल्याणधम्मेन कल्याणधम्मतरो”ति।
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, kalyāṇadhammena kalyāṇadhammataro? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco attanā ca pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti, parañca pāṇātipātā veramaṇiyā samādapeti …pe… attanā ca sammādiṭṭhiko hoti, parañca sammādiṭṭhiyā samādapeti. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, kalyāṇadhammena kalyāṇadhammataro”ti.
