149. Temporarily Liberated (1)
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, these five things lead to the decline of a temporarily liberated bhikkhu. [n.1148] Samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno. Mp: "One who is liberated in mind through a mundane liberation, a tentative liberation, through the suppression of the defilements in absorption." What five? Delight in work, delight in talk, delight in sleep, delight in company; and he does not review the extent to which the mind is liberated. These five things lead to the decline of a temporarily liberated bhikkhu.
2"Bhikkhus, these five things lead to the non-decline of a temporarily liberated bhikkhu. What five? There is no delight in work, no delight in talk, no delight in sleep, no delight in company; and he reviews the extent to which the mind is liberated. These five things lead to the non-decline of a temporarily liberated bhikkhu."
1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, dhammā samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti. Katame pañca? Kammārāmatā, bhassārāmatā, niddārāmatā, saṅgaṇikārāmatā, yathāvimuttaṁ cittaṁ na paccavekkhati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca dhammā samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti.
2Pañcime, bhikkhave, dhammā samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattanti. Katame pañca? Na kammārāmatā, na bhassārāmatā, na niddārāmatā, na saṅgaṇikārāmatā, yathāvimuttaṁ cittaṁ paccavekkhati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca dhammā samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattantī"ti.
Navamaṁ.
