Decline

“Aṭṭhime, bhikkhave, dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti.
“These eight things lead to the decline of a mendicant trainee.

Katame aṭṭha?
What eight?

Kammārāmatā, bhassārāmatā, niddārāmatā, saṅgaṇikārāmatā, indriyesu aguttadvāratā, bhojane amattaññutā, saṁsaggārāmatā, papañcārāmatā—
They relish work, talk, sleep, and company. They don’t guard the sense doors and they eat too much. They relish closeness and proliferation.

ime kho, bhikkhave, aṭṭha dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti.
These eight things lead to the decline of a mendicant trainee.

Aṭṭhime, bhikkhave, dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattanti.
These eight things don’t lead to the decline of a mendicant trainee.

Katame aṭṭha?
What eight?

Na kammārāmatā, na bhassārāmatā, na niddārāmatā, na saṅgaṇikārāmatā, indriyesu guttadvāratā, bhojane mattaññutā, asaṁsaggārāmatā, nippapañcārāmatā—
They don’t relish work, talk, and sleep. They guard the sense doors, and they don’t eat too much. They don’t relish closeness and proliferation.

ime kho, bhikkhave, aṭṭha dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattantī”ti.
These eight things don’t lead to the decline of a mendicant trainee.”
