an9.4:8.1 Then, not long after the Buddha left, Venerable Nandaka said to the mendicants,
BAGIAN 8
an9.4:8.2 “Just now, reverends, the Buddha revealed a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure in four statements, before getting up from his seat and entering his dwelling:
an9.4:8.3 ‘Nandaka, a mendicant is faithful but not ethical.
an9.4:8.4 So they’re incomplete in that respect,
an9.4:8.5 and should fulfill it, thinking,
an9.4:8.6 “How can I become faithful and ethical?”
an9.4:8.7 When a mendicant is faithful and ethical, they’re complete in that respect.
an9.4:8.8 A mendicant is faithful and ethical, but does not get internal serenity of heart. …
an9.4:8.9 They get internal serenity of heart, but they don’t get the higher wisdom of discernment of principles.
an9.4:8.10 So they’re incomplete in that respect.
an9.4:8.11 Suppose, Nandaka, there was a four-footed animal that was lame and disabled.
an9.4:8.12 It would be incomplete in that respect.
an9.4:8.13 In the same way, a mendicant is faithful, ethical, and gets internal serenity of heart, but they don’t get the higher wisdom of discernment of principles.
an9.4:8.14 So they’re incomplete in that respect,
an9.4:8.15 and should fulfill it, thinking:
an9.4:8.16 “How can I become faithful and ethical and get internal serenity of heart and get the higher wisdom of discernment of principles?”
an9.4:8.17 When a mendicant is faithful and ethical and gets internal serenity of heart and gets the higher wisdom of discernment of principles,
an9.4:8.18 they’re complete in that respect.’
