an2.15:3.1 And how, mendicants, does an accusing mendicant carefully check themselves?
BAGIAN 3
an2.15:3.2 An accusing mendicant reflects:
an2.15:3.3 ‘This mendicant has committed a certain unskillful offense with the body.
an2.15:3.4 I saw them do that.
an2.15:3.5 If they hadn’t committed that offense, I wouldn’t have seen them.
an2.15:3.6 But since they did commit that offense, I did see them.
an2.15:3.7 When I saw them, I was upset,
an2.15:3.8 and I voiced my unhappiness to them.
an2.15:3.9 Then they also got upset,
an2.15:3.10 so they told others.
an2.15:3.11 So the mistake is mine alone, like someone who owes customs duty on their goods.’
an2.15:3.12 That’s how, mendicants, an accusing mendicant carefully checks themselves.
an2.16:3.1 “Excellent, worthy Gotama! Excellent!
an2.16:3.2 As if he was righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with clear eyes can see what’s there, worthy Gotama has made the teaching clear in many ways.
an2.16:3.3 I go for refuge to the worthy Gotama, to the teaching, and to the mendicant Saṅgha.
an2.16:3.4 From this day forth, may the worthy Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.”
an2.17:3.1 “Excellent, worthy Gotama! … From this day forth, may the worthy Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.”
