Welfare of Others (2nd)
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu parahitāya paṭipanno hoti, no attahitāya.
“Mendicants, a mendicant with five qualities is practicing for the welfare of others, but not their own.
Katamehi pañcahi?
What five?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu attanā na sīlasampanno hoti, paraṁ sīlasampadāya samādapeti;
It’s when a mendicant is not personally accomplished in ethics, immersion, wisdom, freedom, or the knowledge and vision of freedom. But they encourage others in these qualities.
attanā na samādhisampanno hoti, paraṁ samādhisampadāya samādapeti;
attanā na paññāsampanno hoti, paraṁ paññāsampadāya samādapeti;
attanā na vimuttisampanno hoti, paraṁ vimuttisampadāya samādapeti;
attanā na vimuttiñāṇadassanasampanno hoti, paraṁ vimuttiñāṇadassanasampadāya samādapeti.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu parahitāya paṭipanno hoti, no attahitāyā”ti.
A mendicant with these five qualities is practicing for the welfare of others, but not their own.”
Aṭṭhamaṁ.
