Hi,

If you click on the upper left corner of Suttacentral window, you can find a link to translation:
4. Bhallikādisuttāṃ - The householer Bhallika and others

012.04. Bhikkhus, the householders Bhallika, ... re ... Sudatta, ... re ... Anāthapiṇḍika, ... re ... Citta, ... re ... Macchikāsandika, ... re ... Hatthaka Aalavaka, ... re ... Mahanama the Sakya, ... re ... Ugga the householder of Vesali, ... re ... the householder Ugga, ... re ... Sura Ambattha, ... re ... Jīvaka Komarabacca, ... re ... the householder Nakula ... re ... the householder Tavakannika, ... re ... the houeholders Purana and Isidatta. The householders Sandhana, ... re ... Vijaya, ... re ... Vajjiyamahita, ... re ... Mendaka. The disciples Vasettha ... re ... Arittha, ... re ... Saragga, endowed with six things and taking a sign from the Thus Gone One has seen deathlessness realized the highest and behaves. What six?

Unwavering faith, in The Blessed One, in the Teaching, in the Community of bhikkhus, in the noble one's virtues, in the noble one's knowledge and the noble one's release.

Bhikkhus, the disciple Saragga endowed with these six things and taking a sign from the Thus Gone One has seen deathlessness realized the highest and behaves.

Yes, that site's translations can be questionable.

Ven. Bodhi's translation of the AN can be had new for ~$60, and his translations are far clearer. Or just wait until Ven. Sujato has finished translating the AN and releases it for free on suttacentral.org, probably a year or so out from release.

Bhikkhu Bodhi's translation:

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

Because of the emphasis on faith, I think this refers to stream-entry.

Hi Sovatthika,

My recollection is that Bhikkhu Bodhi donates any royalties to charity. In any case, the majority of the retail price of books does not go to the authors.

You might like to read this thread:
Why isn't the Visuddhimagga free?
which discusses some of the issues.

Towards the end of that thread, after a gap of a few years, you'll see that the new BPS version was released as a book for purchase and a downloadable PDF. It would, of course, be nice if that happened with more books.

:heart:

The Visuddhimagga is distributed for free—but the printed version still costs something, due to production costs (giving the printed books for free would surely make the publishers go bankrupt in a very short amount of time).

While Bhikkhu Bodhi is the author/translator, I am 100% certain he doesn't get a salary (since he can't even touch money). It is possibly Wisdom Publications which accepts and redistributes the funds, or another organization.

Regarding charging money for the Suttas, printing and distribution does cost money. Wisdom Publications also do need to cover their expenses and pay their employees (who aren't monastics and have to pay for food, housing and other basic necessities).

TIPITAKA Volume 22 : PALI ROMAN
Sutta Pitaka Vol 14 : Sutta. Aṅ. (3): pañcaka-chakkanipātā
120–​139. Bhal­li­kādi­sutta
“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhalliko gahapati … pe … sudatto gahapati anāthapiṇḍiko … citto gahapati macchi­kāsaṇḍiko … hatthako āḷavako … mahānāmo sakko … uggo gahapati vesāliko … uggato gahapati … sūrambaṭṭho … jīvako komārabhacco … nakulapitā gahapati … tavakaṇṇiko gahapati … pūraṇo gahapati … isidatto gahapati … sandhāno gahapati … vicayo gahapati … vijayamāhiko gahapati … meṇḍako gahapati … vāseṭṭho upāsako … ariṭṭho upāsako … sāraggo upāsako tathāgate niṭṭhaṅgato amataddaso amataṃ sacchikatvā iriyati.
There are 6 elements being inside bhalliko gahapati...pe... sudatto gahapati anāthapiṇḍiko … citto gahapati macchi­kāsaṇḍiko … hatthako āḷavako … mahānāmo sakko … uggo gahapati vesāliko … uggato gahapati … sūrambaṭṭho … jīvako komārabhacco … nakulapitā gahapati … tavakaṇṇiko gahapati … pūraṇo gahapati … isidatto gahapati … sandhāno gahapati … vicayo gahapati … vijayamāhiko gahapati … meṇḍako gahapati … vāseṭṭho upāsako … ariṭṭho upāsako … sāraggo upāsako

, who completely decided (to faith) in tathāgata, saw amata (no death=nibbāna), and enlightened amata then living.
Katamehi chahi? Buddhe aveccap­pasā­dena, dhamme aveccap­pasā­dena, saṃghe aveccap­pasā­dena, ariyena sīlena, ariyena ñāṇena, ariyāya vimuttiyā. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato sāraggo upāsako tathāgate niṭṭhaṅgato amataddaso amataṃ sacchikatvā iriyatī”ti.
How about 6 elements?

1. (Perfect) trusting without doubt in buddhā.
2. (Perfect) trusting without doubt in dhamma.
3. (Perfect) trusting without doubt in saṅghā. (Vicikiccha-sanyojana cessation)
4. Ariya's sīla (noble one's morality). (Silabbataparamasa-sanyojana cessation)
5. Ariya's ñāṇa (noble one's understanding). (Sakkayaditthi-sanyojana cessation;magga-ñāṇa)
5. Ariya's vimutti (noble one's liberation). (phala-ñāṇa)

Those are 6 elements being inside sāraggo upāsako, who completely decided (to faith) in tathāgata, saw amata (no death=nibbāna), and enlightened amata then living.
