At Sāvatthī. Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: “Sir, they speak of a ‘Dhamma speaker’. How is a Dhamma speaker defined?”

“If a mendicant teaches Dhamma for disillusionment with old age and death, for its fading away and cessation, they’re qualified to be called a ‘mendicant who speaks on Dhamma’. If they practice for disillusionment with old age and death, for its fading away and cessation, they’re qualified to be called a ‘mendicant who practices in line with the teaching’. If they’re freed by not grasping, by disillusionment with old age and death, by its fading away and cessation, they’re qualified to be called a ‘mendicant who has attained extinguishment in this very life’.

If a mendicant teaches Dhamma for disillusionment with rebirth … continued existence … grasping … craving … feeling … contact … the six sense fields … name and form … consciousness … choices … If a mendicant teaches Dhamma for disillusionment with ignorance, for its fading away and cessation, they’re qualified to be called a ‘mendicant who speaks on Dhamma’. If they practice for disillusionment with ignorance, for its fading away and cessation, they’re qualified to be called a ‘mendicant who practices in line with the teaching’. If they’re freed by not grasping, by disillusionment with ignorance, by its fading away and cessation, they’re qualified to be called a ‘mendicant who has attained extinguishment in this very life’.”
