Sagacity Moneyyasutta

ā€œMendicants, there are these three kinds of sagacity. ā€œTīṇimāni, bhikkhave, moneyyāni. What three? Katamāni tīṇi? Sagacity of body, speech, and mind. Kāyamoneyyaṁ, vacÄ«moneyyaṁ, manomoneyyaṁ.

And what is sagacity of body? KatamaƱca, bhikkhave, kāyamoneyyaṁ? It’s when a mendicant doesn’t kill living creatures, steal, or have sex. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pāṇātipātā paį¹­ivirato hoti, adinnādānā paį¹­ivirato hoti, abrahmacariyā paį¹­ivirato hoti. This is called ā€˜sagacity of body’. Idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, kāyamoneyyaṁ.

And what is sagacity of speech? KatamaƱca, bhikkhave, vacÄ«moneyyaṁ? It’s when a mendicant doesn’t use speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu musāvādā paį¹­ivirato hoti, pisuṇāya vācāya paį¹­ivirato hoti, pharusāya vācāya paį¹­ivirato hoti, samphappalāpā paį¹­ivirato hoti. This is called ā€˜sagacity of speech’. Idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, vacÄ«moneyyaṁ.

And what is sagacity of mind? KatamaƱca, bhikkhave, manomoneyyaṁ? It’s when a mendicant realizes the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paƱƱāvimuttiṁ diį¹­į¹­heva dhamme sayaṁ abhiƱƱā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati. This is called ā€˜sagacity of mind’. Idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, manomoneyyaṁ. These are the three kinds of sagacity. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi moneyyānÄ«ti.

A sage in body, a sage in speech, Kāyamuniṁ vacÄ«muniṁ, a sage undefiled in heart; cetomuniṁ anāsavaṁ; a sage, blessed with sagacity, Muniṁ moneyyasampannaṁ, has given up everything, they say.ā€ āhu sabbappahāyinanā€ti.

Dasamaṁ.

Āpāyiko dullabho appameyyaṁ, ĀneƱjavipattisampadā; Apaṇṇako ca kammanto, Dve soceyyāni moneyyanti.
