AN 7.85 · A Mendicant

AN 7.85 · Bhikkhusutta

“Mendicants, it’s because of breaking seven things that you become a mendicant. What seven? Substantialist view, doubt, misapprehension of precepts and observances, greed, hate, delusion, and conceit. It’s because of breaking these seven things that you become a mendicant.”

“Sattannaṁ, bhikkhave, dhammānaṁ bhinnattā bhikkhu hoti. Katamesaṁ sattannaṁ? Sakkāyadiṭṭhi bhinnā hoti, vicikicchā bhinnā hoti, sīlabbataparāmāso bhinno hoti, rāgo bhinno hoti, doso bhinno hoti, moho bhinno hoti, māno bhinno hoti.
