Kulasutta Families

ā€œNavahi, bhikkhave, aį¹…gehi samannāgataṁ kulaṁ anupagantvā vā nālaṁ upagantuṁ, upagantvā vā nālaṁ nisÄ«dituṁ. ā€œMendicants, visiting a family with nine factors is not worthwhile, or if you’ve already arrived, sitting down is not worthwhile.

Katamehi navahi? What nine?

Na manāpena paccuį¹­į¹­henti, na manāpena abhivādenti, na manāpena āsanaṁ denti, santamassa pariguhanti, bahukampi thokaṁ denti, paṇītampi lÅ«khaṁ denti, asakkaccaṁ denti no sakkaccaṁ, na upanisÄ«danti dhammassavanāya, bhāsitamassa na sussÅ«santi. They don’t politely rise, bow, or offer a seat. They hide what they have. Even when they have much they give little. Even when they have fine things they give coarse things. They give carelessly, not carefully. They don’t sit nearby to listen to the teachings. When you’re speaking, they don’t listen well.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, navahaį¹…gehi samannāgataṁ kulaṁ anupagantvā vā nālaṁ upagantuṁ upagantvā vā nālaṁ nisÄ«dituṁ. Visiting a family with these nine factors is not worthwhile, or if you’ve already arrived, sitting down is not worthwhile.

Navahi, bhikkhave, aį¹…gehi samannāgataṁ kulaṁ anupagantvā vā alaṁ upagantuṁ, upagantvā vā alaṁ nisÄ«dituṁ. Visiting a family with nine factors is worthwhile, or if you’ve already arrived, sitting down is worthwhile.

Katamehi navahi? What nine?

Manāpena paccuį¹­į¹­henti, manāpena abhivādenti, manāpena āsanaṁ denti, santamassa na pariguhanti, bahukampi bahukaṁ denti, paṇītampi paṇītaṁ denti, sakkaccaṁ denti no asakkaccaṁ, upanisÄ«danti dhammassavanāya, bhāsitamassa sussÅ«santi. They politely rise, bow, and offer a seat. They don’t hide what they have. When they have much they give much. When they have refined things they give refined things. They give carefully, not carelessly. They sit nearby to listen to the teachings. When you’re speaking, they listen well.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, navahaį¹…gehi samannāgataṁ kulaṁ anupagantvā vā alaṁ upagantuṁ, upagantvā vā alaṁ nisÄ«ditunā€ti. Visiting a family with these nine factors is worthwhile, or if you’ve already arrived, sitting down is worthwhile.ā€

Sattamaṁ.
