286. A Bhikkhu

1"Bhikkhus, possessing five qualities, a bhikkhu is deposited in hell as if brought there. What five? He is one who destroys life, takes what is not given, does not observe celibacy,[n.1245] Abrahmacārī hoti. Though modeled after the five lay precepts, the third item in this list lays down the more stringent requirement of celibacy for male and female monastics. speaks falsely, and indulges in liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness. Possessing these five qualities, a bhikkhu is deposited in hell as if brought there.

1"Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi pañcahi? Pāṇātipātī hoti, adinnādāyī hoti, abrahmacārī hoti, musāvādī hoti, surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhāyī hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.

2"Bhikkhus, possessing five qualities, a bhikkhu is deposited in heaven as if brought there. What five? He is one who abstains from the destruction of life, from taking what is not given, from sexual activity,[n.1246] Abrahmacariyā paṭivirato hoti. from false speech, and from liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness. Possessing these five qualities, a bhikkhu is deposited in heaven as if brought there."

2Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. Katamehi pañcahi? Pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti, adinnādānā paṭivirato hoti, abrahmacariyā paṭivirato hoti, musāvādā paṭivirato hoti, surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānā paṭivirato hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge"ti.

Paṭhamaṁ.
