Discontent Aratisutta

ā€œMendicants, there are these three things. ā€œTayome, bhikkhave, dhammā. What three? Katame tayo? Discontent, cruelty, and unprincipled conduct. Arati, vihiṁsā, adhammacariyā. These are the three things. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo dhammā. To give up these three things you should develop three things. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya tayo dhammā bhāvetabbā. What three? Katame tayo? You should develop rejoicing to give up discontent, harmlessness to give up cruelty, and principled conduct to give up unprincipled conduct. Aratiyā pahānāya muditā bhāvetabbā, vihiṁsāya pahānāya avihiṁsā bhāvetabbā, adhammacariyāya pahānāya dhammacariyā bhāvetabbā. These are the three things you should develop to give up those three things.ā€ Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya ime tayo dhammā bhāvetabbÄā€ti.

Sattamaṁ.
