Atha kho aƱƱataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaį¹…kami; upasaį¹…kamitvā bhagavantaį¹ abhivādetvā ekamantaį¹ nisÄ«di. Ekamantaį¹ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaį¹ etadavoca: Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:

ā€œā€˜dhammavihārÄ«, dhammavihārÄ«ā€™ti, bhante, vuccati. ā€œSir, they speak of ā€˜one who lives by the teachingā€™.

Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, bhikkhu dhammavihārÄ« hotÄ«ā€ti? How is a mendicant who lives by the teaching defined?ā€

ā€œIdha, bhikkhu, bhikkhu dhammaį¹ pariyāpuį¹‡Ätiā€”ā€œMendicant, take a mendicant who memorizes the teachingā€”

suttaį¹, geyyaį¹, veyyākaraį¹‡aį¹, gāthaį¹, udānaį¹, itivuttakaį¹, jātakaį¹, abbhutadhammaį¹, vedallaį¹; statements, mixed prose & verse, discussions, verses, inspired exclamations, legends, stories of past lives, amazing stories, and elaborations.

uttari cassa paƱƱāya atthaį¹ nappajānāti. But they donā€™t understand the higher meaning.

Ayaį¹ vuccati, bhikkhu: ā€˜bhikkhu pariyattibahulo, no dhammavihārÄ«ā€™. That mendicant is called one who studies a lot, not one who lives by the teaching.

Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhu, bhikkhu yathāsutaį¹ yathāpariyattaį¹ dhammaį¹ vitthārena paresaį¹ deseti, uttari cassa paƱƱāya atthaį¹ nappajānāti. Furthermore, a mendicant teaches Dhamma in detail to others as they learned and memorized it. But they donā€™t understand the higher meaning.

Ayaį¹ vuccati, bhikkhu: ā€˜bhikkhu paƱƱattibahulo, no dhammavihārÄ«ā€™. That mendicant is called one who advocates a lot, not one who lives by the teaching.

Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhu, bhikkhu yathāsutaį¹ yathāpariyattaį¹ dhammaį¹ vitthārena sajjhāyaį¹ karoti, uttari cassa paƱƱāya atthaį¹ nappajānāti. Furthermore, a mendicant recites the teaching in detail as they learned and memorized it. But they donā€™t understand the higher meaning.

Ayaį¹ vuccati, bhikkhu: ā€˜bhikkhu sajjhāyabahulo, no dhammavihārÄ«ā€™. That mendicant is called one who recites a lot, not one who lives by the teaching.

Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhu, bhikkhu yathāsutaį¹ yathāpariyattaį¹ dhammaį¹ cetasā anuvitakketi anuvicāreti manasānupekkhati, uttari cassa paƱƱāya atthaį¹ nappajānāti. Furthermore, a mendicant thinks about and considers the teaching in their heart, examining it with the mind as they learned and memorized it. But they donā€™t understand the higher meaning.

Ayaį¹ vuccati, bhikkhu: ā€˜bhikkhu vitakkabahulo, no dhammavihārÄ«ā€™. That mendicant is called one who thinks a lot, not one who lives by the teaching.

Idha, bhikkhu, bhikkhu dhammaį¹ pariyāpuį¹‡Ätiā€”Take a mendicant who memorizes the teachingā€”

suttaį¹, geyyaį¹, veyyākaraį¹‡aį¹, gāthaį¹, udānaį¹, itivuttakaį¹, jātakaį¹, abbhutadhammaį¹, vedallaį¹; statements, mixed prose & verse, discussions, verses, inspired exclamations, legends, stories of past lives, amazing stories, and elaborations.

uttari cassa paƱƱāya atthaį¹ pajānāti. And they do understand the higher meaning.

Evaį¹ kho, bhikkhu, bhikkhu dhammavihārÄ« hoti. Thatā€™s how a mendicant is one who lives by the teaching.

Iti kho, bhikkhu, desito mayā pariyattibahulo, desito paƱƱattibahulo, desito sajjhāyabahulo, desito vitakkabahulo, desito dhammavihārÄ«. So, mendicant, Iā€™ve taught you the one who studies a lot, the one who advocates a lot, the one who recites a lot, the one who thinks a lot, and the one who lives by the teaching.

Yaį¹ kho, bhikkhu, satthārā karaį¹‡Ä«yaį¹ sāvakānaį¹ hitesinā anukampakena anukampaį¹ upādāya, kataį¹ vo taį¹ mayā. Out of sympathy, Iā€™ve done what a teacher should do who wants whatā€™s best for their disciples.

Etāni, bhikkhu, rukkhamÅ«lāni, etāni suƱƱāgārāni. Jhāyatha bhikkhu, mā pamādattha, mā pacchā vippaį¹­isārino ahuvattha. Ayaį¹ vo amhākaį¹ anusāsanÄ«ā€ti. Here are these roots of trees, and here are these empty huts. Practice absorption, mendicant! Donā€™t be negligent! Donā€™t regret it later! This is my instruction to you.ā€

Catutthaį¹.
