Gilānasutta Sick People Patients

“Tayome, bhikkhave, gilānā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. “There are these three types of sick people to be found existing in the world. “These three patients are found in the world.

Katame tayo? Which three? What three?

Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco gilāno labhanto vā sappāyāni bhojanāni alabhanto vā sappāyāni bhojanāni, labhanto vā sappāyāni bhesajjāni alabhanto vā sappāyāni bhesajjāni, labhanto vā patirūpaṁ upaṭṭhākaṁ alabhanto vā patirūpaṁ upaṭṭhākaṁ neva vuṭṭhāti tamhā ābādhā. There is the case of the sick person who—regardless of whether he does or does not receive amenable food, regardless of whether he does or does not receive amenable medicine, regardless of whether he does or does not receive proper nursing—will not recover from that illness. In some cases a patient won’t recover from an illness, regardless of whether or not they get suitable food and medicines, and a capable carer.

Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco gilāno labhanto vā sappāyāni bhojanāni alabhanto vā sappāyāni bhojanāni, labhanto vā sappāyāni bhesajjāni alabhanto vā sappāyāni bhesajjāni, labhanto vā patirūpaṁ upaṭṭhākaṁ alabhanto vā patirūpaṁ upaṭṭhākaṁ vuṭṭhāti tamhā ābādhā. There is the case of the sick person who—regardless of whether he does or does not receive amenable food, regardless of whether he does or does not receive amenable medicine, regardless of whether he does or does not receive proper nursing—will recover from that illness. In some cases a patient will recover from an illness, regardless of whether or not they get suitable food and medicines, and a capable carer.

Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco gilāno labhantova sappāyāni bhojanāni no alabhanto, labhantova sappāyāni bhesajjāni no alabhanto, labhantova patirūpaṁ upaṭṭhākaṁ no alabhanto vuṭṭhāti tamhā ābādhā. There is the case of the sick person who will recover from that illness if he receives amenable food, amenable medicine, & proper nursing, but not if he doesn’t. In some cases a patient can recover from an illness, but only if they get suitable food and medicines, and a capable carer, and not if they don’t get these things.

Tatra, bhikkhave, yvāyaṁ gilāno labhantova sappāyāni bhojanāni no alabhanto, labhantova sappāyāni bhesajjāni no alabhanto, labhantova patirūpaṁ upaṭṭhākaṁ no alabhanto vuṭṭhāti tamhā ābādhā, imaṁ kho, bhikkhave, gilānaṁ paṭicca gilānabhattaṁ anuññātaṁ gilānabhesajjaṁ anuññātaṁ gilānupaṭṭhāko anuññāto. “Now, it is because of the sick person who will recover from that illness if he receives amenable food, amenable medicine, & proper nursing—but not if he doesn’t—that food for the sick has been allowed, medicine for the sick has been allowed, nursing for the sick has been allowed. Now, it’s for the sake of the last patient—who will recover only if they get suitable food and medicines, and a capable carer—that food, medicines, and a carer are prescribed.

Imañca pana, bhikkhave, gilānaṁ paṭicca aññepi gilānā upaṭṭhātabbā. And it is because there is this sort of sick person that the other sorts of sick persons are to be nursed as well [on the chance that they may actually turn out to need and benefit from such nursing]. But also, for the sake of this patient, the other patients should be looked after.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo gilānā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. “These are the three types of sick people to be found existing in the world. These are the three kinds of patients found in the world.

Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tayome gilānūpamā puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. “In the same way, these three types of people, like the three types of sick people, are to be found existing in the world. In the same way, these three individuals similar to patients are found in the world.

Katame tayo? Which three? What three?

Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo labhanto vā tathāgataṁ dassanāya alabhanto vā tathāgataṁ dassanāya, labhanto vā tathāgatappaveditaṁ dhammavinayaṁ savanāya alabhanto vā tathāgatappaveditaṁ dhammavinayaṁ savanāya neva okkamati niyāmaṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. There is the case of the person who—regardless of whether he does or doesn’t get to see the Tathāgata, regardless of whether he does or doesn’t get to hear the Dhamma & Vinaya proclaimed by the Tathāgata—will not alight on the lawfulness, the rightness of skillful qualities. Some people don’t step into the sure path with regard to skillful qualities, regardless of whether or not they get to see a Realized One, and to hear the teaching and training that he proclaims.

Idha, pana, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo labhanto vā tathāgataṁ dassanāya alabhanto vā tathāgataṁ dassanāya, labhanto vā tathāgatappaveditaṁ dhammavinayaṁ savanāya alabhanto vā tathāgatappaveditaṁ dhammavinayaṁ savanāya okkamati niyāmaṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. There is the case of the person who—regardless of whether he does or doesn’t get to see the Tathāgata, regardless of whether he does or doesn’t get to hear the Dhamma & Vinaya proclaimed by the Tathāgata—will alight on the lawfulness, the rightness of skillful qualities. Some people do step into the sure path with regard to skillful qualities, regardless of whether or not they get to see a Realized One, and to hear the teaching and training that he proclaims.

Idha pana, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo labhantova tathāgataṁ dassanāya no alabhanto, labhantova tathāgatappaveditaṁ dhammavinayaṁ savanāya no alabhanto okkamati niyāmaṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. There is the case of the person who will alight on the lawfulness, the rightness of skillful qualities if he gets to see the Tathāgata and gets to hear the Dhamma & Vinaya proclaimed by the Tathāgata, but not if he doesn’t. Some people can step into the sure path with regard to skillful qualities, but only if they get to see a Realized One, and to hear the teaching and training that he proclaims, and not when they don’t get those things.

Tatra, bhikkhave, yvāyaṁ puggalo labhantova tathāgataṁ dassanāya no alabhanto, labhantova tathāgatappaveditaṁ dhammavinayaṁ savanāya no alabhanto okkamati niyāmaṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ, imaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalaṁ paṭicca dhammadesanā anuññātā. “Now, it is because of the person who will alight on the lawfulness, the rightness of skillful qualities if he gets to see the Tathāgata and gets to hear the Dhamma & Vinaya proclaimed by the Tathāgata—but not if he doesn’t—that the teaching of the Dhamma has been allowed. Now, it’s for the sake of this last individual that teaching the Dhamma is prescribed, that is, the one who can step into the sure path with regard to skillful qualities, but only if they get to see a Realized One, and to hear the teaching and training that he proclaims.

Imañca pana, bhikkhave, puggalaṁ paṭicca aññesampi dhammo desetabbo. And it is because there is this sort of person that the other sorts of persons are to be taught the Dhamma as well [on the chance that they may actually turn out to need and benefit from the teaching]. But also, for the sake of this individual, the other people should be taught Dhamma.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo gilānūpamā puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti. “These are the three types of people, like the three types of sick people, to be found existing in the world.” These are the three individuals similar to patients found in the world.”

Dutiyaṁ.
