1.1“Sādhikamidaṁ, bhikkhave, diyaḍḍhasikkhāpadasataṁ anvaddhamāsaṁ uddesaṁ āgacchati, yattha attakāmā kulaputtā sikkhanti.“Mendicants, each fortnight over a hundred and fifty training rules come up for recitation, in which gentlemen who desire self-knowledge train.1.2Tisso imā, bhikkhave, sikkhā yatthetaṁ sabbaṁ samodhānaṁ gacchati.These are all included in the three trainings.1.3Katamā tisso?What three?1.4Adhisīlasikkhā, adhicittasikkhā adhipaññāsikkhā—The training in the higher ethics, the higher mind, and the higher wisdom.1.5imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso sikkhā, yatthetaṁ sabbaṁ samodhānaṁ gacchati.These are the three trainings that include them all.

2.1PTS 1.232Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlesu paripūrakārī hoti samādhismiṁ mattaso kārī paññāya mattaso kārī.Take the case of a mendicant who has fulfilled their ethics, but has limited immersion and wisdom.2.2So yāni tāni khuddānukhuddakāni sikkhāpadāni tāni āpajjatipi vuṭṭhātipi.They break some lesser and minor training rules, but are restored.2.3Taṁ kissa hetu?Why is that?2.4Na hi mettha, bhikkhave, abhabbatā vuttā.Because I don’t say they’re incapable of that.2.5Yāni ca kho tāni sikkhāpadāni ādibrahmacariyakāni brahmacariyasāruppāni, tattha dhuvasīlo ca hoti ṭhitasīlo ca, samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu.But they’re constant and steady in their precepts regarding the training rules that are fundamental, befitting the spiritual path. They keep the rules they’ve undertaken.2.6So tiṇṇaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā sotāpanno hoti avinipātadhammo niyato sambodhiparāyaṇo.With the ending of three fetters they’re a stream-enterer, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.

3.1Idha pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlesu paripūrakārī hoti samādhismiṁ mattaso kārī paññāya mattaso kārī.Take another case of a mendicant who has fulfilled their ethics, but has limited immersion and wisdom.3.2So yāni tāni khuddānukhuddakāni sikkhāpadāni tāni āpajjatipi vuṭṭhātipi.They break some lesser and minor training rules, but are restored.3.3Taṁ kissa hetu?Why is that?3.4Na hi mettha, bhikkhave, abhabbatā vuttā.Because I don’t say they’re incapable of that.3.5Yāni ca kho tāni sikkhāpadāni ādibrahmacariyakāni brahmacariyasāruppāni tattha dhuvasīlo ca hoti ṭhitasīlo ca, samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu.But they’re constant and steady in their precepts regarding the training rules that are fundamental, befitting the spiritual path. They keep the rules they’ve undertaken.3.6So tiṇṇaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā rāgadosamohānaṁ tanuttā sakadāgāmī hoti, sakideva imaṁ lokaṁ āgantvā dukkhassantaṁ karoti.With the ending of three fetters, and the weakening of greed, hate, and delusion, they’re a once-returner. They come back to this world once only, then make an end of suffering.

4.1Idha pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlesu paripūrakārī hoti samādhismiṁ paripūrakārī paññāya mattaso kārī.Take another case of a mendicant who has fulfilled their ethics and immersion, but has limited wisdom.4.2So yāni tāni khuddānukhuddakāni sikkhāpadāni tāni āpajjatipi vuṭṭhātipi.They break some lesser and minor training rules, but are restored.4.3Taṁ kissa hetu?Why is that?4.4Na hi mettha, bhikkhave, abhabbatā vuttā.Because I don’t say they’re incapable of that.4.5Yāni ca kho tāni sikkhāpadāni ādibrahmacariyakāni brahmacariyasāruppāni tattha dhuvasīlo ca hoti ṭhitasīlo ca, samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu.But they’re constant and steady in their precepts regarding the training rules that are fundamental, befitting the spiritual path. They keep the rules they’ve undertaken.4.6So pañcannaṁ orambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā opapātiko hoti tattha parinibbāyī anāvattidhammo tasmā lokā.With the ending of the five lower fetters they’re reborn spontaneously. They are extinguished there, and are not liable to return from that world.

5.1Idha pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlesu paripūrakārī hoti samādhismiṁ paripūrakārī paññāya paripūrakārī.Take another case of a mendicant who has fulfilled their ethics, immersion, and wisdom.5.2So yāni tāni khuddānukhuddakāni sikkhāpadāni tāni āpajjatipi vuṭṭhātipi.They break some lesser and minor training rules, but are restored.5.3Taṁ kissa hetu?Why is that?5.4Na hi mettha, bhikkhave, abhabbatā vuttā.Because I don’t say they’re incapable of that.5.5Yāni ca kho tāni sikkhāpadāni ādibrahmacariyakāni brahmacariyasāruppāni tattha dhuvasīlo ca hoti ṭhitasīlo ca, samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu.But they’re constant and steady in their precepts regarding the training rules that are fundamental, befitting the spiritual path. They keep the rules they’ve undertaken.5.6So āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati.They realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom. And they live having realized it with their own insight in this very life due to the ending of defilements.

6.1Iti kho, bhikkhave, padesaṁ padesakārī ārādheti paripūraṁ paripūrakārī.So, mendicants, if you practice partially you succeed partially. If you practice fully you succeed fully.6.2Avañjhāni tvevāhaṁ, bhikkhave, sikkhāpadāni vadāmī”ti.But in any case, these training rules are not barren, I say.”
