Things That Can’t Be Done (1st)

“Chayimāni, bhikkhave, abhabbaṭṭhānāni.

“Mendicants, these six things can’t be done.

Katamāni cha?

What six?

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.

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.

Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cha abhabbaṭṭhānānī”ti.

These are the six things that can’t be done.”

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
