Rukkhamūlikasutta
Dwelling at the Root of a Tree
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, rukkhamūlikā.
“Mendicants, there are these five who dwell at the root of a tree.
Katame pañca?
What five?
Mandattā momūhattā rukkhamūliko hoti …pe… idamatthitaṁyeva nissāya rukkhamūliko hoti.
A person may dwell at the root of a tree because of stupidity … corrupt wishes … madness … because it is praised by the Buddhas … or for the sake of having few wishes …
Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca rukkhamūlikā”ti.
These are the five who dwell at the root of a tree.”
