“Mendicants, any mendicant who abuses and insults their spiritual companions, denouncing the noble ones, will, without a doubt, fall into one or other of these eleven disasters. What eleven? They don’t achieve the unachieved. What they have achieved falls away.
PL
“Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu akkosako paribhāsako ariyūpavādo sabrahmacārīnaṁ, ṭhānametaṁ avakāso yaṁ so ekādasannaṁ byasanānaṁ aññataraṁ byasanaṁ nigaccheyya. Katamesaṁ ekādasannaṁ? Anadhigataṁ nādhigacchati, adhigatā parihāyati,
EN
They don’t refine their good qualities. They overestimate their good qualities. Or they lead the spiritual life dissatisfied. Or they commit a corrupt offense.
PL
saddhammassa na vodāyanti, saddhammesu vā adhimāniko hoti, anabhirato vā brahmacariyaṁ carati, aññataraṁ vā saṅkiliṭṭhaṁ āpattiṁ āpajjati,
EN
Or they resign the training and return to a lesser life. Or they contract a severe illness. Or they go mad or lose their mind. They feel lost when they die.
PL
sikkhaṁ vā paccakkhāya hīnāyāvattati, gāḷhaṁ vā rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, ummādaṁ vā pāpuṇāti cittakkhepaṁ vā, sammūḷho kālaṁ karoti,
EN
And when their body breaks up, after death, they are reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. Any mendicant who abuses and insults their spiritual companions, denouncing the noble ones, will, without a doubt, fall into one or other of these eleven disasters. Any mendicant who does not abuse and insult their spiritual companions, denouncing the noble ones, will, without a doubt, not fall into one or other of these eleven disasters.
PL
kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjati— yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu akkosako paribhāsako ariyūpavādo sabrahmacārīnaṁ, ṭhānametaṁ avakāso yaṁ so imesaṁ ekādasannaṁ byasanānaṁ aññataraṁ byasanaṁ nigaccheyya. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu akkosako paribhāsako ariyūpavādo sabrahmacārīnaṁ, aṭṭhānametaṁ anavakāso yaṁ so ekādasannaṁ byasanānaṁ aññataraṁ byasanaṁ na nigaccheyya.
