evaṃ me sutaṃ:

Thus have I heard:

ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:

On one occasion, the Bhagavā was dwelling at Sāvatthī, in the Jeta grove, the park of d'Anāthapiṇḍika. Then the Bhagavā adressed the bhikkhus:

“sattime, bhikkhave, dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṃvattanti. katame satta? kammārāmatā, bhassārāmatā, niddārāmatā, saṅgaṇikārāmatā, indriyesu aguttadvāratā, bhojane amattaññutā, santi kho pana saṅghe saṅghakaraṇīyāni tatra sekho bhikkhu na iti paṭisañcikkhati: ‘santi kho pana saṅghe therā rattaññū cirapabbajitā bhāravāhino, te tena paññāyissantī’ti attanā tesu yogaṃ āpajjati. ime kho, bhikkhave, satta dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṃvattanti.

These seven things, bhikkhus, lead to the decline of a bhikkhu in training. Which seven? Delight in activities, delight in talking, delight in sleeping, delight in gatherings, lack of surveillance at the entrance of sense faculties, lack of moderation in eating, and when there are matters of the Saṅgha [to be performed] in the Saṅgha, then the bhikkhu in training does not consider: 'There are in the Saṅgha Theras of long standing, long gone forth, who take [things in] charge, they will know what to do' and he undertakes those matters himself. These, bhikkhus, are the seven things that lead to the decline of a bhikkhu in training.

“sattime, bhikkhave, dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṃvattanti. katame satta? na kammārāmatā, na bhassārāmatā, na niddārāmatā, na saṅgaṇikārāmatā, indriyesu guttadvāratā, bhojane mattaññutā, santi kho pana saṅghe saṅghakaraṇīyāni; tatra sekho bhikkhu iti paṭisañcikkhati: ‘santi kho pana saṅghe therā rattaññū cirapabbajitā bhāravāhino, te tena paññāyissantī’ti attanā na tesu yogaṃ āpajjati. ime kho, bhikkhave, satta dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṃvattantī”ti.

These seven things, bhikkhus, lead to the non-decline of a bhikkhu in training. Which seven? Non-delight in activities, non-delight in talking, non-delight in sleeping, non-delight in gatherings, surveillance at the entrance of sense faculties, moderation in eating, and when there are matters of the Saṅgha [to be performed] in the Saṅgha, then the bhikkhu in training considers: 'There are in the Saṅgha Theras of long standing, long gone forth, who take [things in] charge, they will know what to do' and he does not undertake those matters himself. These, bhikkhus, are the seven things that lead to the non-decline of a bhikkhu in training.
