Substitute of āṇisutta (6th sutta of purisavagga; AN 2.47)

48. Bhikkhus, there are two factions. What two? The obstinate faction, who never ask to understand clearly,  and the asking to understand clearly faction, who are not obstinate.

Bhikkhus, what is the obstinate faction, who never ask to understand clearly? Bhikkhus, when the suttantas, which is buddha's teaching, contained by profound word, profound meaning,  lokuttara, and emptiness-collection, are teaching,  herein fraction's bhikkhus  do not listen, not pay attention,  and thinking out of what listening. Also, they do not prioritize it to memorize and to learn. But when the suttantas, which is composed or authored by the poem-composer, in melodic syllables and words, out of buddha's teaching, teaching by that composer's disciple, herein fraction's bhikkhus listen, pay attention, thinking of what listening. Also, they prioritize it to memorize and to learn. After they learned it, they do not ask and answer with each other,  not go to ask, not seek the hidden detail of that suttanta "How to recite it? What is it's relation?", not clarify the unclear point of that suttanta, and not solve the doubt about the various question about that teaching.  Bhikkhus, this is the obstinate faction, who never ask to understand clearly.

Bhikkhus, what is the asking to understand clearly faction, who are not obstinate? Bhikkhus, when the suttantas, which is composed or authored by the poem-composer, in melodic syllables and letter, out of buddha's teaching, teaching by that composer's disciple, herein fraction's bhikkhus do not listen, not pay attention,  not thinking of what listening. Also, they do not prioritize it to memorize and to learn. But when the suttantas, which is buddha's teaching, contained by profound word, profound meaning,  lokuttara, and emptiness-collection, are teaching,  herein fraction's bhikkhus listen, pay attention,  and thinking of what listening. Also, they prioritize it to memorize and to learn. After they learned it, they ask and answer with each other,  go to ask, seek the hidden detail of that suttanta "How to recite it? What is it's relation?", clarify the unclear point of that suttanta,  and solve the doubt about the various question about that teaching.  Bhikkhus, this is the asking to understand clearly faction, who are not obstinate.

Bhikkhus, those are  two factions. Bhikkhus, the best faction, of those two factions, is the asking to understand clearly faction, who are not obstinate.
