The Chapter on Fools

22. "There are these two fools, monks. Which two? One who does not see a transgression as a transgression, and one who does not accept according to the rule when another is confessing a transgression. These, monks, are the two fools." "There are these two wise persons, monks. Which two? One who sees a transgression as a transgression, and one who accepts according to the rule when another is confessing a transgression. These, monks, are the two wise persons."

23. "There are these two, monks, who misrepresent the Truth-finder. Which two? One who is hateful with hate within, or one with faith through misapprehension. These, monks, are the two who misrepresent the Truth-finder."

24. "There are these two, monks, who misrepresent the Truth-finder. Which two? One who explains what was not said, not spoken by the Truth-finder as 'said, spoken by the Truth-finder', and one who explains what was said, spoken by the Truth-finder as 'not said, not spoken by the Truth-finder'. These, monks, are the two who misrepresent the Truth-finder." "There are these two, monks, who do not misrepresent the Truth-finder. Which two? One who explains what was not said, not spoken by the Truth-finder as 'not said, not spoken by the Truth-finder', and one who explains what was said, spoken by the Truth-finder as 'said, spoken by the Truth-finder'. These, monks, are the two who do not misrepresent the Truth-finder."

25. "There are these two, monks, who misrepresent the Truth-finder. Which two? One who explains a discourse whose meaning needs to be inferred as 'a discourse whose meaning has been drawn out', and one who explains a discourse whose meaning has been drawn out as 'a discourse whose meaning needs to be inferred'. These, monks, are the two who misrepresent the Truth-finder."

26. "There are these two, monks, who do not misrepresent the Truth-finder. Which two? One who explains a discourse whose meaning needs to be inferred as 'a discourse whose meaning needs to be inferred', and one who explains a discourse whose meaning has been drawn out as 'a discourse whose meaning has been drawn out'. These, monks, are the two who do not misrepresent the Truth-finder."

27. "For one whose actions are concealed, monks, one of two destinations is to be expected - hell or the animal realm. For one whose actions are not concealed, monks, one of two destinations is to be expected - gods or human beings."

28. "For one of wrong view, monks, one of two destinations is to be expected - hell or the animal realm."

29. "For one of right view, monks, one of two destinations is to be expected - gods or human beings."

30. "Monks, there are two receptacles for the immoral - hell or the animal realm. Monks, there are two receptacles for the moral - gods or human beings."

31. "Seeing two reasons, monks, I resort to remote forest and woodland lodgings. Which two? Seeing my own pleasant abiding in the present life, and having compassion for future generations. Seeing these two reasons, monks, I resort to remote forest and woodland lodgings."

32. "There are these two mental states, monks, that are conducive to true knowledge. Which two? Serenity and insight. Serenity, monks, when developed, what purpose does it serve? The mind is developed. The mind when developed, what purpose does it serve? Whatever lust there is, that is abandoned. Insight, monks, when developed, what purpose does it serve? Wisdom is developed. Wisdom when developed, what purpose does it serve? Whatever ignorance there is, that is abandoned. A mind defiled by lust, monks, is not liberated, or wisdom defiled by ignorance is not developed. Thus indeed, monks, through the fading away of lust there is liberation of mind, through the fading away of ignorance there is liberation by wisdom."

The Chapter on the Fool is the third.
