A Turtle

Once upon a time in a certain lake there was a large family of turtles that had lived there for a long time. Then one of the turtles said to another, ‘My dear turtle, don’t you go to that place.’

Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, aññatarasmiṁ udakarahade mahākummakulaṁ ciranivāsi ahosi. Atha kho, bhikkhave, aññataro kummo aññataraṁ kummaṁ etadavoca: ‘mā kho tvaṁ, tāta kumma, etaṁ padesaṁ agamāsī’ti.

Then one of the turtles said to another, Atha kho, bhikkhave, aññataro kummo aññataraṁ kummaṁ etadavoca: ‘My dear turtle, don’t you go to that place.’ ‘mā kho tvaṁ, tāta kumma, etaṁ padesaṁ agamāsī’ti.

But that turtle did go to that place, and a hunter pierced her with a harpoon.

Agamāsi kho, bhikkhave, so kummo taṁ padesaṁ. Tamenaṁ luddo papatāya vijjhi.

But that turtle did go to that place, Agamāsi kho, bhikkhave, so kummo taṁ padesaṁ. and a hunter pierced her with a harpoon. Tamenaṁ luddo papatāya vijjhi.

Then that turtle went back to the other turtle. When the other turtle saw her coming off in the distance, he said, ‘My dear turtle, I hope you didn’t go to that place!’

Atha kho, bhikkhave, so kummo yena so kummo tenupasaṅkami. Addasā kho, bhikkhave, so kummo taṁ kummaṁ dūratova āgacchantaṁ. Disvāna taṁ kummaṁ etadavoca: ‘kacci tvaṁ, tāta kumma, na taṁ padesaṁ agamāsī’ti?

‘Indeed, my dear turtle, you’re hurt and injured! Your father and grandfather met with tragedy and disaster because of such a cord. Go now, you are no longer one of us.’

‘Tagghasi, tāta kumma, khato, taggha upahato. Etena hi te, tāta kumma, suttakena pitaro ca pitāmahā ca anayaṁ āpannā byasanaṁ āpannā. Gaccha dāni tvaṁ, tāta kumma, na dāni tvaṁ amhākan’ti.

Whoever enjoys and likes arisen possessions, honor, and popularity is called a mendicant who has been pierced with a harpoon. They’ve met with tragedy and disaster, and the Wicked One can do with them what he wants.

Yo hi koci, bhikkhave, bhikkhubhikkhuUn hombre que ha renunciado a la vida de hogar para vivir una vida de virtud elevada (ver sīla) de acuerdo con el Vinaya en general, y las reglas del Pātimokkha en particular. La raíz de la palabra significa «mendicante», es decir, uno que vive de limosnas. Como el masculino se usa como género por defecto en pali, el término bhikkhu a menudo incluye también a las monjas, por lo que «mendicante» puede usarse como traducción de género neutro.
