Things That Can’t Be Done (1st)Paṭhamaabhabbaṭṭhānasutta

“Mendicants, these six things can’t be done.“Chayimāni, bhikkhave, abhabbaṭṭhānāni. What six?Katamāni cha? An individual accomplished in view can’t live disrespectful and irreverent toward the Teacher, the teaching, the Saṅgha, or the training. They can’t establish their belief on unreliable grounds. And they can’t generate an eighth rebirth.Abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo satthari agāravo viharituṁ appatisso, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo dhamme agāravo viharituṁ appatisso, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo saṅghe agāravo viharituṁ appatisso, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo sikkhāya agāravo viharituṁ appatisso, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo anāgamanīyaṁ vatthuṁ paccāgantuṁ, abhabbo diṭṭhisampanno puggalo aṭṭhamaṁ bhavaṁ nibbattetuṁ. These are the six things that can’t be done.”Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cha abhabbaṭṭhānānī”ti.
