Beginning With the Faithless

Assaddhamūlakasutta

At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, sentient beings join together and converge because of an element: the faithless with the faithless, the unconscientious with the unconscientious,

Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati. “Dhātusova, bhikkhave, sattā saṁsandanti samenti. Assaddhā assaddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; ahirikā ahirikehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti;

the witless with the witless, the faithful with the faithful, the conscientious with the conscientious, and the wise with the wise.

duppaññā duppaññehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; saddhā saddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; hirimanā hirimanehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; paññavanto paññavantehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti.

In the past … In the future … At present, too, sentient beings join together and converge because of an element. …

Atītampi kho, bhikkhave, addhānaṁ dhātusova sattā saṁsandiṁsu samiṁsu …pe… anāgatampi kho, bhikkhave, addhānaṁ dhātusova sattā saṁsandissanti samessanti …pe…. Etarahipi kho, bhikkhave, paccuppannaṁ addhānaṁ dhātusova sattā saṁsandanti samenti. Assaddhā assaddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti;

Sentient beings join together and converge because of an element: the faithless with the faithless, the imprudent with the imprudent, the witless with the witless,

Dhātusova, bhikkhave, sattā saṁsandanti samenti. Assaddhā assaddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; anottappino anottappīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; duppaññā duppaññehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti;

the faithful with the faithful, the prudent with the prudent, and the wise with the wise. (The following should be told in full like the first section.)

saddhā saddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; ottappino ottappīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; paññavanto paññavantehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti …pe… paṭhamavāro viya vitthāretabbo.

Sentient beings come together because of an element: the faithless … unlearned … witless …

Dhātusova, bhikkhave …pe… assaddhā assaddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; appassutā appassutehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; duppaññā duppaññehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti;

the faithful … Sentient beings come together because of an element: the faithless … lazy …

saddhā saddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; bahussutā bahussutehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti, paññavanto paññavantehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti …pe…. Dhātusova, bhikkhave …pe… assaddhā assaddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; kusītā kusītehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti;

witless. the faithful … energetic … wise. Sentient beings come together because of an element:

duppaññā duppaññehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; saddhā saddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; āraddhavīriyā āraddhavīriyehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; paññavanto paññavantehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti …pe…. Dhātusova, bhikkhave …pe…

the faithless … unmindful … witless. the faithful …

assaddhā assaddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; muṭṭhassatino muṭṭhassatīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; duppaññā duppaññehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; saddhā saddhehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti;
