[99] Bhikkhus, these four kinds of persons are found existing in the world. What four? One practicing for his own welfare but not for the welfare of others; one practicing for the welfare of others but not for his own welfare; one practicing neither for his own welfare nor for the welfare of others; and one practicing both for his own welfare and for the welfare of others.
And how, bhikkhus, is a person one practicing for his own welfare but not for the welfare of others? Here, bhikkhus, a certain person himself abstains from the destruction of life (pāṇātipāta), but does not encourage another in abstention from the destruction of life; himself abstains from taking what is not given (adinnādāna), but does not encourage another in abstention from taking what is not given; himself abstains from sexual misconduct (kāmesu micchācāra), but does not encourage another in abstention from sexual misconduct; himself abstains from false speech (musāvāda), but does not encourage another in abstention from false speech; himself abstains from wine, liquor, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness (surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhāna), but does not encourage another in abstention from wine, liquor, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a person is one practicing for his own welfare but not for the welfare of others.
And how, bhikkhus, is a person one practicing for the welfare of others but not for his own welfare? Here, bhikkhus, a certain person does not himself abstain from the destruction of life, but encourages another in abstention from the destruction of life … he does not himself abstain from wine, liquor, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness, but encourages another in abstention from wine, liquor, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a person is one practicing for the welfare of others but not for his own welfare.
And how, bhikkhus, is a person one practicing neither for his own welfare nor for the welfare of others? Here, bhikkhus, a certain person does not himself abstain from the destruction of life, nor does he encourage another in abstention from the destruction of life … he does not himself abstain from wine, liquor, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness, nor does he encourage another in abstention from wine, liquor, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a person is one practicing neither for his own welfare nor for the welfare of others.
And how, bhikkhus, is a person one practicing both for his own welfare and for the welfare of others? Here, bhikkhus, a certain person himself abstains from the destruction of life, and encourages another in abstention from the destruction of life; himself abstains from taking what is not given, and encourages another in abstention from taking what is not given; himself abstains from sexual misconduct, and encourages another in abstention from sexual misconduct; himself abstains from false speech, and encourages another in abstention from false speech; himself abstains from wine, liquor, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness, and encourages another in abstention from wine, liquor, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a person is one practicing both for his own welfare and for the welfare of others.
These, bhikkhus, are the four kinds of persons found existing in the world.
