Evaṃ me sutaṃ— |
So I have heard. |
ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. |
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. |
Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: |
There the Buddha addressed the monks: |
“bhikkhavo”ti. |
“monks!” |
“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. |
“Venerable sir,” they replied. |
Bhagavā etadavoca: |
The Buddha said this: |
“Ekādasahi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgato gopālako abhabbo gogaṇaṃ pariharituṃ phātiṃ kātuṃ. |
“monks, a cowherd with eleven factors can’t maintain and expand a herd of cattle. |
Katamehi ekādasahi? |
What eleven? |
Idha, bhikkhave, gopālako na rūpaññū hoti, na lakkhaṇakusalo hoti, na āsāṭikaṃ hāretā hoti, na vaṇaṃ paṭicchādetā hoti, na dhūmaṃ kattā hoti, na titthaṃ jānāti, na pītaṃ jānāti, na vīthiṃ jānāti, na gocarakusalo hoti anavasesadohī ca hoti. Ye te usabhā gopitaro gopariṇāyakā te na atirekapūjāya pūjetā hoti. |
It’s when a cowherd doesn’t know form, is unskilled in characteristics, doesn’t pick out flies’ eggs, doesn’t dress wounds, doesn’t smoke out pests, doesn’t know the ford, doesn’t know when they’re satisfied, doesn’t know the trail, is not skilled in pastures, milks dry, and doesn’t show extra respect to the bulls who are fathers and leaders of the herd. |
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, ekādasahi aṅgehi samannāgato gopālako abhabbo gogaṇaṃ pariharituṃ phātiṃ kātuṃ. |
A cowherd with these eleven factors can’t maintain and expand a herd of cattle. |
Evameva kho, bhikkhave, ekādasahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu abhabbo imasmiṃ dhammavinaye vuddhiṃ virūḷhiṃ vepullaṃ āpajjituṃ. |
In the same way, a monk with eleven dharmas can’t achieve growth, improvement, or maturity in this Dharma and training. |
Katamehi ekādasahi? |

Ye te bhikkhū therā rattaññū cirapabbajitā saṃghapitaro saṃghapariṇāyakā te na atirekapūjāya pūjetā hoti. |
It’s when a monk doesn’t know form, is unskilled in characteristics, doesn’t pick out flies’ eggs, doesn’t dress wounds, doesn’t smoke out pests, doesn’t know the ford, doesn’t know satisfaction, doesn’t know the trail, is not skilled in pastures, milks dry, and doesn’t show extra respect to senior monks of long standing, long gone forth, fathers and leaders of the Saṅgha. |
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na rūpaññū hoti? |
And how does a monk not know form? |
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yaṃ kiñci rūpaṃ sabbaṃ rūpaṃ ‘cattāri mahābhūtāni, catunnañca mahābhūtānaṃ upādāyarūpan’ti yathābhūtaṃ nappajānāti. |
It’s when a monk doesn’t truly understand that all form is the four primary elements, or form derived from the four primary elements. |
Evaṃ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na rūpaññū hoti. (1) |
That’s how a monk doesn’t know form. |
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na lakkhaṇakusalo hoti? |
And how is a monk not skilled in characteristics? |

Evaṃ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na lakkhaṇakusalo hoti. (2) |
That’s how a monk isn’t skilled in characteristics. |
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na āsāṭikaṃ hāretā hoti? |
And how does a monk not pick out flies’ eggs? |
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu uppannaṃ kāmavitakkaṃ adhivāseti, nappajahati na vinodeti na byantī karoti na anabhāvaṃ gameti. Uppannaṃ byāpādavitakkaṃ … pe … uppannaṃ vihiṃsāvitakkaṃ … pe … uppannuppanne pāpake akusale dhamme adhivāseti, nappajahati na vinodeti na byantī karoti na anabhāvaṃ gameti. |
It’s when a monk tolerates a sensual, malicious, or cruel thought that’s arisen. They tolerate any bad, unskillful Dharmas that have arisen. They don’t give them up, get rid of them, eliminate them, and obliterate them. |
Evaṃ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na āsāṭikaṃ hāretā hoti. (3) |
That’s how a monk doesn’t pick out flies’ eggs. |
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na vaṇaṃ paṭicchādetā hoti? |
And how does a monk not dress wounds? |
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu cakkhunā rūpaṃ disvā nimittaggāhī hoti anubyañjanaggāhī. |
When a monk sees a sight with their eyes, they get caught up in the features and details. |
Yatvādhikaraṇamenaṃ cakkhundriyaṃ asaṃvutaṃ viharantaṃ abhijjhādomanassā pāpakā akusalā dhammā anvāssaveyyuṃ, tassa saṃvarāya na paṭipajjati, na rakkhati cakkhundriyaṃ, cakkhundriye na saṃvaraṃ āpajjati. |
Since the faculty of sight is left unrestrained, bad unskillful Dharmas of desire and aversion become overwhelming. They don’t practice restraint, they don’t protect the faculty of sight, and they don’t achieve its restraint. |
Sotena saddaṃ sutvā … pe … |
When they hear a sound with their ears … |
ghānena gandhaṃ ghāyitvā … pe … |
smell an odor with their nose … |
jivhāya rasaṃ sāyitvā … pe … |
taste a flavor with their tongue … |
kāyena phoṭṭhabbaṃ phusitvā … pe … |
feel a touch with their body … |
manasā dhammaṃ viññāya nimittaggāhī hoti anubyañjanaggāhī. |
know a thought with their mind, they get caught up in the features and details. |
Yatvādhikaraṇamenaṃ manindriyaṃ asaṃvutaṃ viharantaṃ abhijjhādomanassā pāpakā akusalā dhammā anvāssaveyyuṃ, tassa saṃvarāya na paṭipajjati, na rakkhati manindriyaṃ, manindriye na saṃvaraṃ āpajjati. |
Since the faculty of the mind is left unrestrained, bad unskillful Dharmas of desire and aversion become overwhelming. They don’t practice restraint, they don’t protect the faculty of the mind, and they don’t achieve its restraint. |

Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu na titthaṃ jānāti? |

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ye te bhikkhū bahussutā āgatāgamā dhammadharā vinayadharā mātikādharā, te kālena kālaṃ upasaṅkamitvā na paripucchati, na paripañhati: |
It’s when a monk doesn’t from time to time go up to those monks who are very learned—knowledgeable in the scriptures, who have memorized the Dharmas, the Vinaya, and the outlines—and ask them questions: |
‘idaṃ, bhante, kathaṃ? |
‘Why, sir, does it say this? |
Imassa ko attho’ti? |
What does that mean?’ |
Tassa te āyasmanto avivaṭañceva na vivaranti, anuttānīkatañca na uttānīkaronti, anekavihitesu ca kaṅkhāṭhānīyesu dhammesu kaṅkhaṃ na paṭivinodenti. |
