X. Benefit — AN 6.96: Appearance
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1“Mendicants, the appearance of six things is rare in the world. What six? A Realized One, a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha. A person who teaches the teaching and training proclaimed by a Realized One. Rebirth in a civilized region. Unimpaired sense faculties. Being bright and clever. Enthusiasm for skillful qualities. The appearance of these six things is rare in the world.”
1"Channaṁ, bhikkhave, pātubhāvo dullabho lokasmiṁ. Katamesaṁ channaṁ? Tathāgatassa arahato sammāsambuddhassa pātubhāvo dullabho lokasmiṁ, tathāgatappaveditassa dhammavinayassa desetā puggalo dullabho lokasmiṁ, ariyāyatane paccājāti dullabhā lokasmiṁ, indriyānaṁ avekallatā dullabhā lokasmiṁ, ajaḷatā aneḷamūgatā dullabhā lokasmiṁ, kusale dhamme chando dullabho lokasmiṁ. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, channaṁ pātubhāvo dullabho lokasmin"ti.
Paṭhamaṁ.
