Timidity Sārajjasutta

“Mendicants, a mendicant with five qualities is overcome by timidity. “Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu sārajjaṁ okkanto hoti. What five? Katamehi pañcahi? It’s when a mendicant is faithless, unethical, with little learning, lazy, and witless. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu assaddho hoti, dussīlo hoti, appassuto hoti, kusīto hoti, duppañño hoti. A mendicant with these five qualities is overcome by timidity. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu sārajjaṁ okkanto hoti.

A mendicant with five qualities is self-assured. Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu visārado hoti. What five? Katamehi pañcahi? It’s when a mendicant is faithful, ethical, learned, energetic, and wise. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho hoti, sīlavā hoti, bahussuto hoti, āraddhavīriyo hoti, paññavā hoti. A mendicant with these five qualities is self-assured.” Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu visārado hotī”ti.
