“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, gadrabho gogaṇaṁ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito anubandho hoti:

“Suppose, mendicants, a donkey followed behind a herd of cattle, thinking:
5

‘अहम्पिa·ham·pi दम्मो,dam·mo अहम्पिa·ham·pi दम्मो’ति।dam·mo

‘ahampi dammo, ahampi dammo’ti.

‘I can moo too! I can moo too!’

Tassa na tādiso vaṇṇo hoti seyyathāpi gunnaṁ, na tādiso saro hoti seyyathāpi gunnaṁ, na tādisaṁ padaṁ hoti seyyathāpi gunnaṁ.

But it doesn’t look like a cow, or sound like a cow, or leave a footprint like a cow.

Still it follows behind a herd of cattle, thinking:

‘ahampi dammo, ahampi dammo’ti.

Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, idhekacco bhikkhu bhikkhusaṅghaṁ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito anubandho hoti:

In the same way, some mendicant follows behind the mendicant Saṅgha, thinking:
10

‘अहम्पिa·ham·pi भिक्खु,bhik·khu अहम्पिa·ham·pi भिक्खू’ति।bhik·khū

‘ahampi bhikkhu, ahampi bhikkhū’ti.

‘I’m a monk too! I’m a monk too!’

But they don’t have the same enthusiasm for undertaking the training in the higher ethics, the higher mind, and the higher wisdom as the other mendicants.

Still they follow behind the mendicant Saṇgha, thinking:

तस्मातिह,tas·mā·ti·ha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve एवंe·vaṃ सिक्खितब्बं:sik·khi·tab·baṃ

Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ:

So you should train like this:
15

‘तिब्बोtib·bo नोno छन्दोchan·do भविस्सतिbha·vis·sa·ti अधिसीलसिक्खासमादाने,a·dhi·sī·la·sik·khā·sa·mā·dā·ne तिब्बोtib·bo नोno छन्दोchan·do भविस्सतिbha·vis·sa·ti अधिचित्तसिक्खासमादाने,a·dhi·cit·ta·sik·khā·sa·mā·dā·ne तिब्बोtib·bo नोno छन्दोchan·do भविस्सतिbha·vis·sa·ti अधिपञ्ञासिक्खासमादाने’ति।a·dhi·pañ·ñā·sik·khā·sa·mā·dā·ne

‘tibbo no chando bhavissati adhisīlasikkhāsamādāne, tibbo no chando bhavissati adhicittasikkhāsamādāne, tibbo no chando bhavissati adhipaññāsikkhāsamādāne’ti.

‘We will have keen enthusiasm for undertaking the training in the higher ethics, the higher mind, and the higher wisdom.’

That’s how you should train.”
