Temporarily Free (1st) Paṭhamasamayavimuttasutta

“Mendicants, these five things lead to the decline of a mendicant who is temporarily free. “Pañcime, bhikkhave, dhammā samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti. What five? Katame pañca? They relish work, talk, sleep, and company. And they don’t review the extent of their mind’s freedom. Kammārāmatā, bhassārāmatā, niddārāmatā, saṅgaṇikārāmatā, yathāvimuttaṁ cittaṁ na paccavekkhati. These five things lead to the decline of a mendicant who is temporarily free. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca dhammā samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti.

These five things don’t lead to the decline of a mendicant who is temporarily free. Pañcime, bhikkhave, dhammā samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattanti. What five? Katame pañca? They don’t relish work, talk, sleep, and company. And they review the extent of their mind’s freedom. Na kammārāmatā, na bhassārāmatā, na niddārāmatā, na saṅgaṇikārāmatā, yathāvimuttaṁ cittaṁ paccavekkhati. These five things don’t lead to the decline of a mendicant who is temporarily free.” Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca dhammā samayavimuttassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattantī”ti.

Navamaṁ.
