“Mendicants, there are two [types of] fools.
(The mendicants asked) What are the two?
One whom does not see a fault as a fault,
and the other does not accept the confession of a fault according to the Teaching.
Mendicants, these are two [types of] fools”

“Mendicants, there are two [types of] wise one's.
(The mendicants asked) What are the two?
One whom does see a fault as a fault,
and the other does accept the confession of a fault according to the Teaching.
Mendicants, these are the two [types of] wise one's.”

“Mendicants, these two [types of persons] defame the Tathāgata.
(The mendicants asked) What are the two [types of persons]?
(The Lord Buddha responded) The malicious, or the inwardly angry, and the one with (blind) faith or the one who holds things incorrectly. 
Mendicants, these two [types of persons] defame the Tathāgata.”

“Whichever Mendicant who has done their duty and become an Arahant,
being free of obsessions they wear their last body.
They still might use words such as 'I',
they still might use words such as 'mine'.”

Whichever Mendicant who has done their duty and become an Arahant,
being free of obsessions they wear their last body.
they still might use words such as 'I',
they still might use words such as 'mine'.
Because they know the skilled use of conventions,
using such conceited expressions in moderation.”

Whichever Mendicant who has done their duty and become an Arahant,
being free of obsessions they wear their last body.
When conceited they go to a mendicant,
they still might use words such as 'I',
they still might use words such as 'mine'.”

The bonds are eliminated for one who does not compare,
all the ties of conceit are destroyed.
The wise overcome opinions,
they still might use words such as 'I'.

“They still might use words such as 'mine'.
Because they know the skilled use of conventions.
They use such conceited expressions in moderation.”

    About

    All translations here are from Pali to English by Cittasanto, done for personal reflection and understanding, not as expert translations.
    Please read translations by other translators who are far more skilled in the Pali language such as Thanissaro Bhikkhu (Ajahn Geoff) or Ven. Bhikkhu Bhodhi.
    Please check the calendar for upcoming translation posts.

    Current Projects

    The Dhammapada -
    I started this project a little while ago, although it was mainly Gathas used in chanting, or for Calligraphy Projects.

    Apart from these I have finished the first 15 chapters. Updates with translations being done both in general and specific projects will be shared on the calendar.
