English · Bhikkhu SujatoThe Sure Path (2nd)
“Mendicants, someone with five qualities is unable to step into the sure path with regard to skillful qualities even when listening to the true teaching. What five? They disparage the talk, the speaker, or themselves. They’re witless, dull, and idiotic. They think they know what they don’t know. Someone with these five qualities is unable to step into the sure path with regard to skillful qualities, even when listening to the true teaching.
