4. PadasodhammasikkhāpadaInstructing a householder to memorize the Teaching
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery, Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū upāsake padaso dhammaṁ vācenti.the monks from the group of six were instructing lay followers to memorize the Teaching. Upāsakā bhikkhūsu agāravā appatissā asabhāgavuttikā viharanti.Those lay followers became disrespectful, undeferential, and rude toward the monks.
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all, pts)The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,
“kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū upāsake padaso dhammaṁ vācessanti.“How can the monks from the group of six instruct lay followers to memorize the Teaching?”
Upāsakā bhikkhūsu agāravā appatissā asabhāgavuttikā viharantī”ti.
viharantīti → viharissantīti (bj) | bhikkhūsu agāravā appatissā asabhāgavuttikā → (pts) | viharissantīti → viharantīti (bj: machasaṁ)
Atha kho te bhikkhū chabbaggiye bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…
chabbaggiye bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā → (bj, sya-all, pts)After rebuking those monks in many ways, they told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks:
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, upāsake padaso dhammaṁ vācetha;“Is it true, monks, that you do this?”
upāsakā bhikkhūsu agāravā appatissā asabhāgavuttikā viharantī”ti?
bhikkhūsu agāravā appatissā asabhāgavuttikā → (pts)
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked them …
kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, upāsake padaso dhammaṁ vācessatha.“Foolish men, how can you do this?”
Upāsakā bhikkhūsu agāravā appatissā asabhāgavuttikā viharanti.
viharanti → viharissanti (bj) | bhikkhūsu agāravā appatissā asabhāgavuttikā → (pts)
Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya pasannānaṁ vā bhiyyobhāvāya …pe…
pasannānaṁ vā bhiyyobhāvāya → (sya-all)This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
“Yo pana bhikkhu anupasampannaṁ padaso dhammaṁ vāceyya pācittiyan”ti.‘If a monk instructs a person who is not fully ordained to memorize the Teaching, he commits an offense entailing confession.’”
- Yo panātiA:
- yo yādiso …pe…whoever …
- bhikkhūtiMonk:
