The Sure Path (2nd) Dutiyasammattaniyāmasutta

“Mendicants, someone with five qualities is unable to step into the sure path with regards to skillful qualities even when listening to the true teaching. “Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato suṇantopi saddhammaṁ abhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. What five? Katamehi pañcahi? They disparage the talk, the speaker, or themselves. They’re witless, dull, and idiotic. They think they know what they don’t know. Kathaṁ paribhoti, kathikaṁ paribhoti, attānaṁ paribhoti, duppañño hoti jaḷo eḷamūgo, anaññāte aññātamānī hoti. Someone with these five qualities is unable to step into the sure path with regards to skillful qualities, even when listening to the true teaching. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato suṇantopi saddhammaṁ abhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ.
