4. The training rule on falsely claiming a superhuman quality

Uttarimanussadhamma

A monk who falsely claims a profound spiritual attainment is expelled. In the origin story to this rule the Buddha declares that anyone who gets people to support him or her by lying about their spiritual attainments is the worst kind of thief.

1.1.0.1Origin story

1.1.0.2First substory

1.1.1PTS 3.87Tena samayena buddho bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ.At one time when the Buddha was staying in the house with the peaked roof in the Great Wood near Vesālī,1.1.2Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā sandiṭṭhā sambhattā bhikkhū vaggumudāya nadiyā tīre vassaṁ upagacchiṁsu.a number of monks who were friends had entered the rainy-season residence on the banks of the river Vaggumudā.1.1.3Tena kho pana samayena vajjī dubbhikkhā hoti dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā,At that time Vajjī was short of food and afflicted with hunger, with crops affected by whiteheads and turned to straw.¹1.1.4na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.It was not easy to get by on almsfood.

1.1.5Atha kho tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi—“etarahi kho vajjī dubbhikkhā dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā, na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.The monks considered the difficult circumstances, and they thought,1.1.6Kena nu kho mayaṁ upāyena samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vaseyyāma,“How can we have a comfortable rains, live in peace and harmony,1.1.7na ca piṇḍakena kilameyyāmā”ti?and get almsfood without trouble?”

1.1.8Ekacce evamāhaṁsu—Some said,1.1.9“handa mayaṁ, āvuso, gihīnaṁ kammantaṁ adhiṭṭhema,“We could work for the householders,1.1.10evaṁ te amhākaṁ dātuṁ maññissanti.and they’ll support us in return.”1.1.11Evaṁ mayaṁ samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasissāma,1.1.12na ca piṇḍakena kilamissāmā”ti.

1.1.13Ekacce evamāhaṁsu—Others said,1.1.14“alaṁ, āvuso, kiṁ gihīnaṁ kammantaṁ adhiṭṭhitena.“There’s no need to work for the householders.1.1.15Handa mayaṁ, āvuso, gihīnaṁ dūteyyaṁ harāma,Let’s instead take messages for them,1.1.16evaṁ te amhākaṁ dātuṁ maññissanti.and they’ll support us in return.”1.1.17Evaṁ mayaṁ samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasissāma,1.1.18na ca piṇḍakena kilamissāmā”ti.

1.1.19Ekacce evamāhaṁsu—Still others said,1.1.20“alaṁ, āvuso, kiṁ gihīnaṁ kammantaṁ adhiṭṭhitena.“There’s no need to work or take messages for them.1.1.21Kiṁ gihīnaṁ dūteyyaṁ haṭena.1.1.22Handa mayaṁ, āvuso, gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsissāma—Let’s instead talk up one another’s superhuman qualities to the householders:1.1.23‘asuko bhikkhu paṭhamassa jhānassa lābhī,‘That monk has the first absorption,1.1.24asuko bhikkhu dutiyassa jhānassa lābhī,that monk the second absorption,1.1.25asuko bhikkhu tatiyassa jhānassa lābhī,that monk the third,1.1.26asuko bhikkhu catutthassa jhānassa lābhī,that monk the fourth;1.1.27asuko bhikkhu sotāpanno,that monk is a streamenterer,1.1.28asuko bhikkhu sakadāgāmī,that monk a once-returner,1.1.29asuko bhikkhu anāgāmī,that a non-returner,1.1.30asuko bhikkhu arahā,that a perfected one;1.1.31asuko bhikkhu tevijjo,that monk has the three true insights,1.1.32asuko bhikkhu chaḷabhiñño’ti.and that the six direct knowledges.’1.1.33Evaṁ te amhākaṁ dātuṁ maññissanti.Then they’ll support us.1.1.34PTS 3.88Evaṁ mayaṁ samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasissāma,In this way we’ll have a comfortable and harmonious rains,1.1.35na ca piṇḍakena kilamissāmā”ti.and get almsfood without trouble.1.1.36“Esoyeva kho, āvuso, seyyo yo amhākaṁ gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇo bhāsito”ti.This is the way to go.”

1.1.37Atha kho te bhikkhū gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsiṁsu—Then those monks did just that.1.1.38“asuko bhikkhu paṭhamassa jhānassa lābhī …pe…1.1.39asuko bhikkhu chaḷabhiñño”ti.1.1.40Atha kho te manussā—And the people there thought,1.1.41“lābhā vata no, suladdhaṁ vata no, yesaṁ no evarūpā bhikkhū vassaṁ upagatā;“We’re so fortunate that such monks have come to us for the rainy-season residence.1.1.42na vata no ito pubbe evarūpā bhikkhū vassaṁ upagatā yathayime bhikkhū sīlavanto kalyāṇadhammā”ti,Such virtuous and good monks have never before entered the rains residence with us.”1.1.43te na tādisāni bhojanāni attanā paribhuñjanti mātāpitūnaṁ denti puttadārassa denti dāsakammakaraporisassa denti mittāmaccānaṁ denti ñātisālohitānaṁ denti, yādisāni bhikkhūnaṁ denti.And they gave such food and drink to those monks that they did not even eat and drink themselves, or give to their parents, to their wives and children, to their slaves, servants, and workers, to their friends and companions, or to their relatives.1.1.44Te na tādisāni khādanīyāni sāyanīyāni pānāni attanā khādanti sāyanti pivanti mātāpitūnaṁ denti puttadārassa denti dāsakammakaraporisassa denti mittāmaccānaṁ denti ñātisālohitānaṁ denti, yādisāni bhikkhūnaṁ denti.1.1.45Atha kho te bhikkhū vaṇṇavā ahesuṁ pīṇindriyā pasannamukhavaṇṇā vippasannachavivaṇṇā.Soon those monks had a good color, bright faces, clear skin, and sharp senses.

1.2.1Āciṇṇaṁ kho panetaṁ vassaṁvuṭṭhānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bhagavantaṁ dassanāya upasaṅkamituṁ.Now it was the custom for monks who had completed the rainy-season residence to go and visit the Buddha.1.2.2Atha kho te bhikkhū vassaṁvuṭṭhā temāsaccayena senāsanaṁ saṁsāmetvā pattacīvaraṁ ādāya yena vesālī tena pakkamiṁsu.And so, when the three months were over and they had completed the rains residence, those monks put their dwellings in order, took their bowls and robes, and set out for Vesālī.1.2.3Anupubbena yena vesālī mahāvanaṁ kūṭāgārasālā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu.When they eventually arrived, they went to the house with the peaked roof in the Great Wood. There they approached the Buddha, bowed, and sat down.

1.2.4Tena kho pana samayena disāsu vassaṁvuṭṭhā bhikkhū kisā honti lūkhā dubbaṇṇā uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajātā dhamanisanthatagattā;At that time the monks who had completed the rains residence in that region were thin, haggard, and pale, with veins protruding all over their bodies.1.2.5vaggumudātīriyā pana bhikkhū vaṇṇavā honti pīṇindriyā pasannamukhavaṇṇā vippasannachavivaṇṇā.Yet the monks from the banks of the Vaggumudā had a good color, bright faces, clear skin, and sharp senses.1.2.6Āciṇṇaṁ kho panetaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ āgantukehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ paṭisammodituṁ.Since it is the custom for Buddhas to greet newly-arrived monks,1.2.7Atha kho bhagavā vaggumudātīriye bhikkhū etadavoca—the Buddha said to them,1.2.8“kacci, bhikkhave, khamanīyaṁ kacci yāpanīyaṁ“I hope you’re keeping well, monks, I hope you’re getting by?

1.2.9kacci samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasittha, na ca piṇḍakena kilamitthā”ti?I hope you had a comfortable and harmonious rains, and got almsfood without trouble?”

1.2.10“Khamanīyaṁ, bhagavā, yāpanīyaṁ, bhagavā.“We’re keeping well, sir, we’re getting by.1.2.11Samaggā ca mayaṁ, bhante, sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasimhā, na ca piṇḍakena kilamimhā”ti.We had a comfortable and harmonious rains, and got almsfood without trouble.”1.2.12PTS 3.89Jānantāpi tathāgatā pucchanti, jānantāpi na pucchanti …pe…When Buddhas know what is going on, sometimes they ask and sometimes not. They know the right time to ask and when not to ask. Buddhas ask when it is beneficial, otherwise they do not, for Buddhas are incapable of doing what is unbeneficial.²1.2.13dvīhākārehi buddhā bhagavanto bhikkhū paṭipucchanti— “dhammaṁ vā desessāma, sāvakānaṁ vā sikkhāpadaṁ paññapessāmā”ti.Buddhas question the monks for two reasons: to give a teaching or to lay down a training rule.

1.2.14Atha kho bhagavā vaggumudātīriye bhikkhū etadavoca—And the Buddha said to those monks,1.2.15“yathā kathaṁ pana tumhe, bhikkhave, samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasittha na ca piṇḍakena kilamitthā”ti?“In what way, monks, did you have a comfortable and harmonious rains? And how did you get almsfood without trouble?”

1.2.16Atha kho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.They then told him.

1.2.17“Kacci pana vo, bhikkhave, bhūtan”ti?“But did you really have those superhuman qualities?”

1.2.18“Abhūtaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“No, sir.”

1.2.19Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—The Buddha rebuked them,1.2.20“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisā, ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.“It’s not suitable, foolish men, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.1.2.21Kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, udarassa kāraṇā gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsissatha.How could you for the sake of your stomachs talk up one another’s superhuman qualities to householders?1.2.22Varaṁ tumhehi, moghapurisā, tiṇhena govikantanena kucchi parikanto, na tveva udarassa kāraṇā gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇo bhāsito.It would be better for your bellies to be cut open with a sharp butcher’s knife than for you to talk up one another’s superhuman qualities to householders.1.2.23Taṁ kissa hetu?Why is that?1.2.24Tatonidānañhi, moghapurisā, maraṇaṁ vā nigaccheyya maraṇamattaṁ vā dukkhaṁ,For although it might cause death or death-like suffering,1.2.25na tveva tappaccayā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjeyya.it would not cause you to be reborn in a bad destination.1.2.26Itonidānañca kho, moghapurisā, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjeyya.But <em>this</em> might.1.2.27Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …”1.2.28vigarahitvā dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—After rebuking them and giving a teaching, he addressed the monks:

1.3.1“Pañcime, bhikkhave, mahācorā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ.“Monks, there are these five notorious gangsters to be found in the world.1.3.2Katame pañca?What five?1.3.3Idha, bhikkhave, ekaccassa mahācorassa evaṁ hoti—There is the notorious gangster who thinks like this:1.3.4‘kudāssu nāmāhaṁ satena vā sahassena vā parivuto gāmanigamarājadhānīsu āhiṇḍissāmi‘When the heck will I walk about in villages, towns, and royal capitals, with a following of a hundred or a thousand men,1.3.5hananto ghātento chindanto chedāpento pacanto pācento’ti.killing, destroying, and torturing?’1.3.6So aparena samayena satena vā sahassena vā parivuto gāmanigamarājadhānīsu āhiṇḍati hananto ghātento chindanto chedāpento pacanto pācento.Then after some time, he does just that.1.3.7Evameva kho, bhikkhave, idhekaccassa pāpabhikkhuno evaṁ hoti—Just so, monks, a bad monk thinks like this:1.3.8‘kudāssu nāmāhaṁ satena vā sahassena vā parivuto gāmanigamarājadhānīsu cārikaṁ carissāmi‘When the heck will I walk about in villages, towns, and royal capitals, with a following of a hundred or a thousand people,1.3.9sakkato garukato mānito pūjito apacito gahaṭṭhānañceva pabbajitānañca, lābhī cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārānan’ti.being honored, respected, and revered by both lay people and those gone forth, getting robes, almsfood, dwellings, and medicinal supplies?’1.3.10PTS 3.90So aparena samayena satena vā sahassena vā parivuto gāmanigamarājadhānīsu cārikaṁ carati sakkato garukato mānito pūjito apacito gahaṭṭhānañceva pabbajitānañca, lābhī cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārānaṁ.Then after some time, he does just that.1.3.11Ayaṁ, bhikkhave, paṭhamo mahācoro santo saṁvijjamāno lokasmiṁ.This is the first notorious gangster to be found in the world.

Translator’s notes

“Whiteheads” renders setaṭṭ(h)ikā, literally, “white bones”. Sp 4.403: Setaṭṭhikā nāma rogajātīti eko pāṇako nāḷimajjhagataṁ kaṇḍaṁ vijjhati, yena viddhattā nikkhantampi sālisīsaṁ khīraṁ gahetuṁ na sakkoti, “The disease called setaṭṭhikā means: an insect penetrates the stem, goes to the middle of the stalk, from the penetration of which the rice grains are not able to get sap.” This seems to be a description of so-called “whiteheads”, pale panicles without rice grains, caused by stem borers.
↩ pli-tv-bu-vb-pj4:1.1.3
“Incapable of doing” renders setughāta, literally, “destroyed the bridge”. Sp 1.16: Setu vuccati maggo, maggeneva tādisassa vacanassa ghāto, samucchedoti vuttaṁ hoti, “The path is called the bridge. What is said is that there is the destruction and cutting off of such speech by the path.” The commentary seems to take setu, “bridge”, as a reference to the eightfold path. I prefer to understand “bridge” as a metaphor for access, that is, the Buddhas no longer have access to what is unbeneficial.
↩ pli-tv-bu-vb-pj4:1.2.12
I have rendered muñja-reed and pabbaja-reed with the single word “reed”. I am not aware that these two kinds of reed can be distinguished in English.
I render vihāra as “dwelling”, the idea that it is a monastic dwelling being implied. In later usage, especially in the commentaries, vihāra comes to refer to entire monasteries, rather than individual dwellings. The commentaries seem to agree that in its early usage the word refers to a dwelling. Sp 1.493: Vihāro nivesanasadiso, “A vihāra is like a house.”
Vāsi is often rendered as “adz”, yet the way it is described it seems more likely to refer to a “machete”. Dhammapada aṭṭhakathā, vol. 1, para. 137: Tikhiṇāya vāsiyā khaṇḍākhaṇḍikaṁ chinditvā, “Having cut him up into pieces with a sharp vāsi.” This can hardly refer to an adz, but a machete fits the bill well.

↩ pli-tv-bu-vb-pj4:1.3.23
“Delighting in solitude” renders suññāgāra abhirati, literally, “delighting in an empty dwelling”. According to the commentaries, this is often an idiom for solitude. Majjhima Nikāya aṭṭhakathā, vol. 1, para. 88: Tattha ca rukkhamūlānīti iminā rukkhamūlasenāsanaṁ dasseti. Suññāgārānīti iminā janavivittaṭṭhānaṁ; “And there rukkhamūlāni: by this is shown dwellings at the foot of a tree; suññāgārāni: by this (is shown) a place free from people.”

“Of what is true” is not in the Pali, but has been added for clarity.

“Basic series” renders, suddhika, which is a technical term used to create sections for long permutation series. See Appendix of Specialized Vocabulary for a detailed explanation.
↩ pli-tv-bu-vb-pj4:4.5.78
“The unconnected permutation series” renders khaṇḍacakka, which is another technical term used with the permutation series. See Appendix of Specialized Vocabulary under khaṇḍa and cakka for further details.

“The linked permutation series” renders baddhacakka, which is yet another technical term used with permutation series. See Appendix of Specialized Vocabulary under baddha and cakka.

It seems ellipses points are missing from the end of the Pali segment.

“Based on” renders mūlaka. Mūlaka is used in repetition series to denote the number of items that form the basis for the series. In the present context, although two attainments are given in each case of the above permutation series, it seems that only the one which remains unchanged within each sub-section is considered the “one item”.
↩ pli-tv-bu-vb-pj4:4.8.115
“If the listener understands” renders paṭivijānantassa. This is in accordance with Sp 1.215, which has this to say: Atha pana yassa āroceti, so na jānāti “ki ayaṁ bhaṇatī”ti, saṁsayaṁ vā āpajjati, ciraṁ vīmaṁsitvā vā pacchā jānāti, appaṭivijānanto icceva saṅkhyaṁ gacchati”, “When he who is informed does not understand, thinking, ‘What does he say?’ or he has doubt, or he understands after reflecting for a long time, then it is considered ‘one who does not understand.’” Grammatically paṭivijānantassa could refer to either the speaker or the listener (it can be regarded as a genitive agreeing with bhaṇantassa, thus referring to the speaker, or it can be regarded as a dative of the person spoken to, that is, the listener), but logically it seems it must refer to the listener. In accordance with common usage, “understanding” (paṭivijānantassa) must refer to understanding the overall meaning of what is said, not to knowing the exact words that have been spoken. Since the speaker knows he is lying, he understands the overall meaning. It follows that the understanding here must refer to the listener. A parallel construction is found at Bu Pj 1:8.4.10 where paṭivijānāti is used in connection with giving up the monastic training. Here the verb clearly refers to understanding on the part of the listener, that is, one has only succeeded in renouncing the training if the listener understands what one is saying. At Bu Ss 3:4.1.4 the same verb, this time in the aorist form paṭivijāni, again refers to the listener.
↩ pli-tv-bu-vb-pj4:5.1.1
The Pali text reads vatthu, “basis”, rather than vattu, “speech”. However, I have chosen to follow the alternative reading of vattu, found in the PTS edition, since this seems more reasonable to me given the context.

“Basis” renders mūla. The mūla denotes a basic pattern to be followed in the succeeding permutation series.
