2: The Book of the Twos
4. Not Causing Torment
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, there are these two things that do not cause torment.
What two? Here, someone has engaged in bodily good conduct and avoided engaging in bodily misconduct; engaged in verbal good conduct and avoided engaging in verbal misconduct; engaged in mental good conduct and avoided engaging in mental misconduct.
He is not tormented, knowing: ‘I have engaged in bodily good conduct’; he is not tormented, knowing: ‘I have avoided engaging in bodily misconduct’; he is not tormented, knowing: ‘I have engaged in verbal good conduct’; he is not tormented, knowing: ‘I have avoided engaging in verbal misconduct’; he is not tormented, knowing: ‘I have engaged in mental good conduct’; he is not tormented, knowing: ‘I have avoided engaging in mental misconduct.’
These, bhikkhus, are the two things that do not cause torment."
1"Dveme, bhikkhave, dhammā atapanīyā. Katame dve?
Idha, bhikkhave, ekaccassa kāyasucaritaṁ kataṁ hoti, akataṁ hoti kāyaduccaritaṁ; vacīsucaritaṁ kataṁ hoti, akataṁ hoti vacīduccaritaṁ; manosucaritaṁ kataṁ hoti, akataṁ hoti manoduccaritaṁ.
So ‘kāyasucaritaṁ me katan’ti na tappati, ‘akataṁ me kāyaduccaritan’ti na tappati; ‘vacīsucaritaṁ me katan’ti na tappati, ‘akataṁ me vacīduccaritan’ti na tappati; ‘manosucaritaṁ me katan’ti na tappati, ‘akataṁ me manoduccaritan’ti na tappati.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, dve dhammā atapanīyā"ti.
Catutthaṁ.
