The Discourse on Andhakavinda

114.More DetailsCommentaries On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling among the Magadhans at Andhakavinda. Then the Venerable Ānanda approached the Blessed One; having approached, he paid respect to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. To the Venerable Ānanda seated to one side, the Blessed One said this:

"Those monks, Ānanda, who are new, recently gone forth, newly come to this Teaching and discipline - those monks, Ānanda, should be encouraged, settled, and established by you in five qualities. In which five? 'Come, friends, be moral, dwell restrained by the restraint of the Pātimokkha, accomplished in good conduct and lawful resort, seeing danger in the slightest faults, having accepted the training rules, train in them' - thus they should be encouraged, settled, and established in the restraint of the Pātimokkha.

'Come, friends, dwell with guarded doors in the sense faculties, with mindfulness for safeguarding, with mindfulness for discernment, with a protected mind, endowed with a mind protected by mindfulness' - thus they should be encouraged, settled, and established in sense restraint.

'Come, friends, be of little talk, making an end of talk' - thus they should be encouraged, settled, and established in limiting talk.

'Come, friends, be forest dwellers, resort to remote forest and woodland lodgings, secluded lodgings' - thus they should be encouraged, settled, and established in bodily seclusion.

'Come, friends, be ones with right view, endowed with right vision' - thus they should be encouraged, settled, and established in right vision. Those monks, Ānanda, who are new, recently gone forth, newly come to this Teaching and discipline - those monks, Ānanda, should be encouraged, settled, and established by you in these five qualities." The fourth.
