Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove,
in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.
There the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
"Yes, lord," they replied,
and the Exalted One said:
'Verily, monks, that a monk who perceives happiness in any phenomenon
shall live in harmony and patience -
that cannot be;
■
that without harmony and patience,
he shall enter the right way -
that cannot be;
■
that without entering the right way,
he shall realize the fruit of Streamwinning,
the fruit of Once-returning,
the fruit of Non-returning
arahantship
that cannot be.
§
But, monks, that a monk who perceives Ill in all phenomenon
shall live in harmony and patience -
that shall surely be;
■
that with harmony and patience,
he shall enter the right way -
that shall surely be;
■
that with entering the right way,
he shall realize the fruit of Streamwinning,
the fruit of Once-returning,
the fruit of Non-returning
arahantship
that shall surely be.
