1“Mendicants, these four things oppose the true teaching. What four? Valuing anger, denigration, material possessions, and honor rather than the true teaching. These are the four things that oppose the true teaching.

2These four things are the true teaching. What four? Valuing the true teaching rather than anger, denigration, material possessions, and honor. These are the four things that are the true teaching.

3A mendicant who values anger and denigration,
possessions and honor,
doesn’t grow in the true teaching,
like a rotten seed in a good field.

4But those who value the true teaching,
who have lived it, and are living it now,
these do grow in the teaching,
like well-watered herbs.”

2Cattārome, bhikkhave, saddhammā. Katame cattāro? Saddhammagarutā na kodhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na makkhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na lābhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na sakkāragarutā. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro saddhammāti.

3Kodhamakkhagaru bhikkhu,
lābhasakkāragāravo;
Sukhette pūtibījaṁva,
saddhamme na virūhati.

4Ye ca saddhammagaruno,
vihaṁsu viharanti ca;
Te ve dhamme virūhanti,

Catutthaṁ.
