Bhikkhuvagga: Monks
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
360-361
Restraint with the
eye is good, good is restraint
with the ear. Restraint with
the nose is good, good is restraint
with the tongue. Restraint with
the body is good, good is restraint
with speech. Restraint with the
heart is good, good is restraint
everywhere. A monk everywhere
restrained is released from all
suffering & stress.
362
Hands restrained, feet restrained speech restrained, supremely restrained — delighting in
what is inward, content, centered, alone: he's what they call a monk.
363
A monk restrained in
his speaking, giving counsel unruffled, declaring the message
& meaning: sweet is his speech.
364
Dhamma his dwelling, Dhamma his delight, a monk pondering Dhamma, calling Dhamma to mind, does not fall away from true Dhamma.
365-366
Gains: don't treat your own
with scorn, don't go coveting
those of others. A monk who covets
those of others attains no concentration.
Even if he gets next
to nothing, he doesn't treat his gains
with scorn. Living purely,
untiring: he's the one that the devas praise.
367
For whom,
in name & form in every way, there's no sense of mine, & who doesn't grieve for what's not: he's deservedly called a monk.
368
Dwelling in kindness, a monk with faith in the
Awakened One's teaching, would attain the good state, the peaceful state: stilling-of-fabrications ease.
369
Monk, bail out this boat. It will take you lightly
when bailed. Having cut through passion,
aversion, you go from there
to Unbinding.
370
Cut through five, let go of five, & develop five above all. A monk gone past
five attachments is said to have crossed
the flood.
371
Practice jhana, monk, and don't be heedless. Don't take your
mind roaming in sensual strands. Don't swallow — heedless — the ball of iron aflame. Don't burn & complain:
'This is pain.'
372
There's no jhana for one with no discernment, no discernment for one with no jhana. But one with both jhana & discernment: he's on the verge of Unbinding.
373-374
A monk with his mind at peace, going into an empty dwelling, clearly seeing the
Dhamma aright: his delight is more than human. However it is, however it is he touches the arising-&-passing
of aggregates: he gains rapture & joy: that, for those who know it, is deathless, the Deathless.
375-376
Here the first things for a discerning monk are guarding the senses, contentment, restraint in line
with the Patimokkha. He should associate
with admirable friends.
Living purely, untiring, hospitable by habit, skilled in his conduct, gaining a manifold joy, he will put an end to suffering & stress.
377
Shed passion & aversion, monks — as a jasmine would, its withered flowers.
378
Calmed in body, calmed in speech, well-centered & calm, having disgorged
the baits of the world, a monk is called thoroughly calmed.
379
You yourself should
reprove yourself, should examine yourself. As a self-guarded monk with guarded self, mindful, you dwell at ease.
380
Your own self is your own mainstay. Your own self is your own guide. Therefore you should watch over yourself — as a trader, a fine steed.
381
A monk with a manifold joy, with faith in the
Awakened One's teaching, would attain the good state, the peaceful state: stilling-of-fabrications ease.
382
A young monk who strives in the Awakened One's teaching, brightens the world like the moon set free from a cloud.
