Dutiyapaṭipadāsuttaṃ Why One Ought to Walk the Path Correctly
Sāvatthinidānaṃ. This was laid down in Sāvatthi.
“Gihino vāhaṃ, bhikkhave,
pabbajitassa vā micchāpaṭipadaṃ
na vaṇṇemi.
“I do not explain, Bhikkhus, whether to a
householder or someone, who has left the
householders life, the wrong path.
Gihi vā, bhikkhave, pabbajito vā
micchāpaṭipanno micchāpaṭipattādhikaraṇahetu nārādhako hoti
ñāyaṃ dhammaṃ kusalaṃ.
Neither, Bhikkhus, a householder nor someone,
who has left the householders life, who is
following the wrong path, can, in consequence
of practicing the wrong path attain the
wholesome Dhamma.
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipadā? And what, Bhikkhus, is the wrong path?
Seyyathidaṃ – micchādiṭṭhi … pe … micchāsamādhi. This is wrong view, … wrong concentration.
Ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, micchāpaṭipadā. This is, Bhikkhus, what is called the wrong path.
Gihino vāhaṃ, bhikkhave, pabbajitassa vā
micchāpaṭipadaṃ na vaṇṇemi.
Therefore I do not explain, Bhikkhus, whether
to a householder or someone who has left the
householders life, the wrong path.
Gihi vā, bhikkhave, pabbajito vā
micchāpaṭipanno
micchāpaṭipattādhikaraṇahetu nārādhako hoti
ñāyaṃ dhammaṃ kusalaṃ.
Whether, Bhikkhus, it is a householder or it is
someone who has left the householders life and
is following the wrong path, neither of them
can, in consequence of practicing the wrong
path, attain the wholesome Dhamma.
Gihino vāhaṃ, bhikkhave, pabbajitassa vā
sammāpaṭipadaṃ vaṇṇemi.
I do explain, Bhikkhus, whether to a
householder or someone who has left the
householders life, the correct path.
Gihi vā, bhikkhave, pabbajito vā
sammāpaṭipanno sammāpaṭipattādhikaraṇahetu
ārādhako hoti
ñāyaṃ dhammaṃ kusalaṃ.
Both, Bhikkhus, a householder or someone who
has left the householders life, who are following
the correct path can, in consequence of
practicing the correct path, attain the wholesome Dhamma.
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipadā? And what, Bhikkhus, is the correct path?
Seyyathidaṃ – sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi. This is right view, … right concentration.
Ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, sammāpaṭipadā. This is, Bhikkhus, what is called the right path.
Gihino vāhaṃ, bhikkhave, pabbajitassa vā
sammāpaṭipadaṃ vaṇṇemi.
Therefore I do explain, Bhikkhus, whether to a
householder or someone who has left the
householders life, the right path.
Gihi vā, bhikkhave, pabbajito vā
sammāpaṭipanno
sammāpaṭipattādhikaraṇahetu ārādhako hoti
ñāyaṃ dhammaṃ kusalan”ti.
Whether, Bhikkhus, it is a householder or it is
someone who has left the householders life and
is following the correct path, both of them can,
in consequence of practicing the correct path,
attain the wholesome Dhamma.”
