Each line in the answers below is in three parts: the original text to be translated (English or Pali, in bold), followed by a literal translation, and concluding with a more idiomatic and fluent translation. Pali text is represented here using the Velthuis convention. To wit: long vowels are doubled (aa, ii, uu) and diacritic marks precede the letters they affect. For example, the cerebral "t" ("t-with-a-dot-under-it") is written as ".t"; the palatal "n" ("n-with-a-tilde-over-it") is written as "~n"; and so on.
The sutta references follow the PTS numbering convention. For example, D.II.85 refers to volume 2, page 85 of the PTS Pali edition of the Digha Nikaya. The numbers that follow (e.g., xvi.1.22) refer to the sutta, paragraph, and sub-paragraph numbers. This paragraph numbering scheme is used both in the PTS Pali edition and in Maurice Walshe's The Long Discourses of the Buddha (Boston: Wisdom Publications, 1987), thus facilitating comparison between the two.
