Kalyāṇasīlasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Kalyāṇasīlo, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇadhammo kalyāṇapañño imasmiṁ dhammavinaye ‘kevalī vusitavā uttamapuriso’ti vuccati—“Monks, a monk who has admirable virtue, admirable qualities, & admirable discernment is called, in this Dhamma-&-Vinaya, one who is complete, fulfilled, a superlative person.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇasīlo hoti?“And how is a monk a person with admirable virtue? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlavā hoti, pātimokkhasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati, ācāragocarasampanno aṇumattesu vajjesu bhayadassāvī, samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu.There is the case where a monk is virtuous. He dwells restrained in accordance with the Pāṭimokkha, consummate in his behavior & sphere of activity. He trains himself, having undertaken the training rules, seeing danger in the slightest faults. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇasīlo hoti.In this way a monk is a person with admirable virtue. Iti kalyāṇasīlo.Thus he is of admirable virtue.
Kalyāṇadhammo ca kathaṁ hoti?“And how is a monk a person with admirable qualities?
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sattannaṁ bodhipakkhiyānaṁ dhammānaṁ bhāvanānuyogamanuyutto viharati.
satta → patta (sabbattha)There is the case where a monk lives devoted to developing the seven [sets of] qualities that are wings to awakening.
Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇadhammo hoti.In this way a monk is a person with admirable qualities.
Iti kalyāṇasīlo, kalyāṇadhammo.Thus he is of admirable virtue & admirable qualities.
Kalyāṇapañño ca kathaṁ hoti?“And how is a monk a person with admirable discernment? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati.There is the case where a monk–with the ending of effluents– remains in the effluent-free awareness-release & discernment-release, directly knowing & realizing it for himself right in the here-&-now. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇapañño hoti.In this way a monk is a person with admirable discernment.
Iti kalyāṇasīlo kalyāṇadhammo kalyāṇapañño imasmiṁ dhammavinaye ‘kevalī vusitavā uttamapuriso’ti vuccatī”ti.Thus he is of admirable virtue, admirable qualities, admirable discernment. In this Dhamma-&-Vinaya he is called one who is complete, fulfilled, a superlative person.”
