Three Grounds
“तीहि, भिक्खवे, ठानेहि सद्धो पसन्नो वेदितब्बो। कतमेहि तीहि? सीलवन्तानं दस्सनकामो होति, सद्धम्मं सोतुकामो होति, विगतमलमच्छेरेन चेतसा अगारं अज्झावसति मुत्तचागो पयतपाणि वोस्सग्गरतो याचयोगो दानसंविभागरतो। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, तीहि ठानेहि सद्धो पसन्नो वेदितब्बो।
“Tīhi, bhikkhave, ṭhānehi saddho pasanno veditabbo. Katamehi tīhi? Sīlavantānaṁ dassanakāmo hoti, saddhammaṁ sotukāmo hoti, vigatamalamaccherena cetasā agāraṁ ajjhāvasati muttacāgo payatapāṇi vossaggarato yācayogo dānasaṁvibhāgarato. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi ṭhānehi saddho pasanno veditabbo.
“There are three grounds, bhikkhus, by which a person with faith and confidence can be known. What three? They like to see ethical people. They like to hear the true teaching. And they live at home rid of the stain of stinginess, freely generous, open-handed, loving to let go, committed to charity, loving to give and to share. These are the three grounds by which a person with faith and confidence can be known.
दस्सनकामो सीलवतं, सद्धम्मं सोतुमिच्छति; विनये मच्छेरमलं, स वे सद्धोति वुच्चती”ति।
Dassanakāmo sīlavataṁ, saddhammaṁ sotumicchati; Vinaye maccheramalaṁ, sa ve saddhoti vuccatī”ti.
They like to see ethical people; they want to hear the true teaching; they’ve driven out the stain of stinginess: that’s who’s called a person of faith.”
