5: The Book of the Fives
211. One Who Insults
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu is one who insults and disparages his fellow monks, a reviler of the noble ones, five dangers can be expected for him. What five? (1) He either commits a pārājika and cuts off the outlet, [n.1219] Chinnaparipantho. Mp explains that he has cut off the world-transcending outlet (lokuttaraparipanthassa chinnattā chinnaparipantho), but possibly what is meant is that, having committed a pārājika, which requires expulsion from the Saṅgha, he has no way to preserve his status as a bhikkhu. or (2) commits a certain defiled offense, [n.1220] Aññataraṁ saṅkiliṭṭhaṁ āpattiṁ āpajjati. This sometimes means that he commits a pārājika or a saṅghādisesa offense, but since a pārājika was just mentioned, it must refer to a saṅghādisesa. or (3) contracts a severe illness. (4) He dies confused. (5) With the breakup of the body, after death, he is reborn in the plane of misery, in a bad destination, in the lower world, in hell. When a bhikkhu is one who insults and disparages his fellow monks, a reviler of the noble ones, these five dangers can be expected for him."
1"Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu akkosakaparibhāsako ariyūpavādī sabrahmacārīnaṁ, tassa pañca ādīnavā pāṭikaṅkhā. Katame pañca? Pārājiko vā hoti chinnaparipantho, aññataraṁ vā saṅkiliṭṭhaṁ āpattiṁ āpajjati, bāḷhaṁ vā rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, sammūḷho kālaṁ karoti, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjati. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu akkosakaparibhāsako ariyūpavādī sabrahmacārīnaṁ, tassa ime pañca ādīnavā pāṭikaṅkhā"ti.
Paṭhamaṁ.
