1Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Vesālī in the hall with the peaked roof in the Great Wood. Then a certain Vajji bhikkhu approached the Blessed One, paid homage to him, and said to him.

"Bhante, every half-month more than a hundred and fifty training rules come up for recitation. I cannot train in them..

"Can you train in the three trainings, bhikkhu: the training in the higher virtuous behavior, the training in the higher mind, and the training in the higher wisdom?.

"I can, Bhante."

2"Therefore, bhikkhu, train in the three trainings: the training in the higher virtuous behavior, the training in the higher mind, and the training in the higher wisdom. As you train in them, you will abandon lust, hatred, and delusion. With the abandoning of lust, hatred, and delusion, you will do nothing unwholesome or resort to anything bad."

3Then, sometime later, that bhikkhu trained in the higher virtuous behavior, the higher mind, and the higher wisdom. As he trained in them, he abandoned lust, hatred, and delusion. With the abandoning of lust, hatred, and delusion, he did nothing unwholesome and did not resort to anything bad.

1Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ. Atha kho aññataro vajjiputtako bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so vajjiputtako bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:.

"sādhikamidaṁ, bhante, diyaḍḍhasikkhāpadasataṁ anvaddhamāsaṁ uddesaṁ āgacchati. Nāhaṁ, bhante, ettha sakkomi sikkhitun"ti.

"Sakkhissasi pana tvaṁ, bhikkhu, tīsu sikkhāsu sikkhituṁ – adhisīlasikkhāya, adhicittasikkhāya adhipaññāsikkhāyā"ti.

"Sakkomahaṁ, bhante, tīsu sikkhāsu sikkhituṁ – adhisīlasikkhāya, adhicittasikkhāya, adhipaññāsikkhāyā"ti. "Tasmātiha tvaṁ, bhikkhu, tīsu sikkhāsu sikkhassu – adhisīlasikkhāya, adhicittasikkhāya, adhipaññāsikkhāya.

2Yato kho tvaṁ, bhikkhu, adhisīlampi sikkhissasi, adhicittampi sikkhissasi, adhipaññampi sikkhissasi, tassa tuyhaṁ bhikkhu adhisīlampi sikkhato adhicittampi sikkhato adhipaññampi sikkhato rāgo pahīyissati, doso pahīyissati, moho pahīyissati. So tvaṁ rāgassa pahānā dosassa pahānā mohassa pahānā yaṁ akusalaṁ na taṁ karissasi, yaṁ pāpaṁ na taṁ sevissasī"ti.

3Atha kho so bhikkhu aparena samayena adhisīlampi sikkhi, adhicittampi sikkhi, adhipaññampi sikkhi. Tassa adhisīlampi sikkhato adhicittampi sikkhato adhipaññampi sikkhato rāgo pahīyi, doso pahīyi, moho pahīyi. So rāgassa pahānā dosassa pahānā mohassa pahānā yaṁ akusalaṁ taṁ nākāsi, yaṁ pāpaṁ taṁ na sevīti.

Catutthaṁ.
