pic for POJ


(derived from B. Sujato 2018/12) （出自 B. Sujato 2018/12）
Evaṃ me sutaṃ—​ So I have heard.    如是我聞。
ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. 一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。
Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: There the Buddha addressed the monks: 在那裡，佛陀對諸比丘說：
“bhikkhavo”ti. “monks!” 「諸比丘！」
“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. “Venerable sir,” they replied. 「尊師。」他們回答。
Bhagavā etadavoca: The Buddha said this: 佛陀如此說：

16.1 – (Buddha said: when a monk has not given up five kinds of emotional barrenness and cut off five emotional shackles they won’t improve)

“Yassa kassaci, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pañca cetokhilā appahīnā, pañca cetasovinibandhā asamucchinnā, so vatimasmiṃ dhammavinaye vuddhiṃ virūḷhiṃ vepullaṃ āpajjissatīti—netaṃ ṭhānaṃ vijjati. “monks, when a monk has not given up five kinds of emotional barrenness and cut off five emotional shackles, it’s not possible for them to achieve growth, improvement, or maturity in this Dharma and training.   「諸比丘，當一位比丘尚未捨棄五種心之荒蕪，未斷除五種心之縛時，他不可能在此法與律中獲得成長、增進或成熟。
