1 Thus was heard by me. At one time the Auspicious One was dwelling at Savatthi in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's Park. At that place the Auspicious One addressed the bhikkhus: “Bhikkhus.” “Bhante,” those bhikkhus replied to the Auspicious One. The Auspicious One said this:

2 “These ten dhammas, O bhikkhus, should be repeatedly reviewed by one gone forth. Which ten?

3 “I have arrived at the classless state.” One gone forth should repeatedly review [this].

4 “My livelihood is bound to others.” One gone forth should be repeatedly review [this].

5 “My deportment should be different from others.” One gone forth should repeatedly review [this].

6 “Is there not for me any censor from myself with respect to virtue?” One gone forth should repeatedly review [this].

7 “Having found out, is there not for me any censor from my wise companions in the life of purity with respect to virtue?” One gone forth should be repeatedly review [this].

8 “To be separated, to be departed from all that is dear and pleasing to me [is certain].” One gone forth should repeatedly review [this].

9 “Kamma is my property, kamma is my inheritance, kamma is my origin, kamma is my kin, kamma is my refuge, whichever kamma I will make, whether good or evil, of that I will be the heir.” One gone forth should repeatedly review [this].

10 “What is becoming of me as the nights and days fly by?” One gone forth should repeatedly review [this].

11 “Do I certainly delight in empty dwellings?” One gone forth should repeatedly review [this].

12 “Is there for me a beyond-human quality attainment, a distinction in knowledge and vision suitable for the noble ones, so that at the final hour, I will not become humiliated when so questioned by my companions in the life of purity?” One gone forth should repeatedly review [this].

13 These, O bhikkhus, are the ten dhammas. One gone forth should repeatedly review [them].”.

14 This is what the Auspicious One said. Delighted, those bhikkhus rejoiced in the Auspicious One's words.
