Disrespect (2nd)Dutiyaagāravasutta

“Mendicants, it is quite impossible for a disrespectful and irreverent mendicant with incompatible lifestyle to fulfill the practice dealing with supplementary regulations regarding their spiritual companions.“So vata, bhikkhave, bhikkhu agāravo appatisso asabhāgavuttiko ‘sabrahmacārīsu ābhisamācārikaṁ dhammaṁ paripūressatī’ti netaṁ ṭhānaṁ vijjati. Without fulfilling the practice dealing with supplementary regulations, it’s impossible to fulfill the practice of a trainee.‘Ābhisamācārikaṁ dhammaṁ aparipūretvā sekhaṁ dhammaṁ paripūressatī’ti netaṁ ṭhānaṁ vijjati. Without fulfilling the practice of a trainee, it’s impossible to fulfill the entire spectrum of ethics.‘Sekhaṁ dhammaṁ aparipūretvā sīlakkhandhaṁ paripūressatī’ti netaṁ ṭhānaṁ vijjati. Without fulfilling the entire spectrum of ethics, it’s impossible to fulfill the entire spectrum of immersion.‘Sīlakkhandhaṁ aparipūretvā samādhikkhandhaṁ paripūressatī’ti netaṁ ṭhānaṁ vijjati. Without fulfilling the entire spectrum of immersion, it’s impossible to fulfill the entire spectrum of wisdom.‘Samādhikkhandhaṁ aparipūretvā paññākkhandhaṁ paripūressatī’ti netaṁ ṭhānaṁ vijjati.

But it is quite possible for a respectful and reverent mendicant with compatible lifestyle to fulfill the practice dealing with supplementary regulations regarding their spiritual companions.So vata, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sagāravo sappatisso sabhāgavuttiko ‘sabrahmacārīsu ābhisamācārikaṁ dhammaṁ paripūressatī’ti ṭhānametaṁ vijjati. Having fulfilled the practice dealing with supplementary regulations, it’s possible to fulfill the practice of a trainee.‘Ābhisamācārikaṁ dhammaṁ paripūretvā sekhaṁ dhammaṁ paripūressatī’ti ṭhānametaṁ vijjati. Having fulfilled the practice of a trainee, it’s possible to fulfill the entire spectrum of ethics.‘Sekhaṁ dhammaṁ paripūretvā sīlakkhandhaṁ paripūressatī’ti ṭhānametaṁ vijjati. Having fulfilled the entire spectrum of ethics, it’s possible to fulfill the entire spectrum of immersion.‘Sīlakkhandhaṁ paripūretvā samādhikkhandhaṁ paripūressatī’ti ṭhānametaṁ vijjati. Having fulfilled the entire spectrum of immersion, it’s possible to fulfill the entire spectrum of wisdom.”‘Samādhikkhandhaṁ paripūretvā paññākkhandhaṁ paripūressatī’ti ṭhānametaṁ vijjatī”ti.
