You lose confidence in some things you’ve achieved. You contract a severe illness. You don’t have any friends. These are the five drawbacks for someone who likes long and aimless wandering.
2There are these five benefits of a reasonable amount of wandering. What five? You achieve the unachieved. What you have achieved doesn’t fall away. You’re confident in some things you’ve achieved. You don’t contract severe illness. You have friends. These are the five benefits of a reasonable amount of wandering.”
1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ anuyuttassa viharato. Katame pañca? Anadhigataṁ nādhigacchati, adhigatā parihāyati, adhigatenekaccena avisārado hoti, gāḷhaṁ rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, na ca mittavā hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ anuyuttassa viharato.
2Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā samavatthacāre. Katame pañca? Anadhigataṁ adhigacchati, adhigatā na parihāyati, adhigatenekaccena visārado hoti, na gāḷhaṁ rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, mittavā ca hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā samavatthacāre"ti.
Dutiyaṁ.
