Exploring the Path: Pali

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa

Vuttañhetaṃ bhagavatā, vuttamarahatāti me sutaṃ–

‘Ekadhammaṃ atītassa, bhikkhave, purisapuggalassa nāhaṃ tassa kiñci pāpakammaṃ akaraṇīyanti vadāmi.

Katamaṃ ekadhammaṃ?

Yadidaṃ bhikkhave, sampajānamusāvādo’ti.

Etamatthaṃ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṃ iti vuccati:

‘Ekadhammaṃ atītassa, musāvādissa jantuno;
vitiṇṇaparalokassa, natthi pāpaṃ akāriyanti.’

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.”
