聞如是：
Thus have I heard:
一時，佛在舍衛國，行在祇樹給孤獨園。佛告比丘：「有四輩雲，第一但有雷無有雨。第二但有雨無有雷。第三亦無雨亦無雷。第四亦有雨亦有雷。譬喻如雲，人亦有四輩，一者人但有雷無有雨。二者但有雨無有雷。三者無有雷無有雨。四者亦有雷亦有雨。何等人為有雷無有雨？是間比丘一人但說經，上亦說善，中亦說善，要亦說善，有行分別，但要具行見要，亦自不知法，亦不知法法如行，是人名為但有雷無有雨。何等為但有雨無有雷？是間有人亦不說法經，上亦不說善，中亦不說善，要亦不說善，亦無有行分別，亦不要具行不見要，但意在法中行和利行，亦如法，亦受法法行，亦同行隨法，是人為但有雨無有雷。何等為無有雨亦無有雷？為不說經，上亦不說善，中亦不說善，要亦不說善，分別亦不說，善要具行亦不說，善法亦自不解，到法亦自不行，是人名為無有雨無有雷。何等為亦有雨亦有雷？是間有人說經法，上亦說善，中亦說善，要亦說善，分別亦說善，要具行亦自解，法到法法亦知，行亦說，善亦自在法中解，到法法行亦自知解，是人為亦有雨亦有雷。」
Once, the Buddha was staying in the country of Shravasti, at the Jeta Grove, in Anathapindika’s Park. The Buddha said to the monks: “There are four kinds of clouds. First, there are clouds that thunder but do not rain. Second, there are clouds that rain but do not thunder. Third, there are clouds that neither thunder nor rain. Fourth, there are clouds that both thunder and rain.
Just like clouds, people also fall into four types. The first type is like thunder without rain. The second is like rain without thunder. The third is like no thunder and no rain. The fourth is like both thunder and rain.
“What kind of person is like thunder without rain? In this context, a monk may give teachings. He says what is good at the beginning, what is good in the middle, and what is good at the end. He explains the practice and its goal, and presents a complete path, yet he himself does not understand the Dharma. He does not live according to the way the Dharma should be practiced. Such a person is called ‘thunder without rain.’
“What kind of person is like rain without thunder? Someone may not give Dharma talks. He does not explain what is good at the beginning, middle, or end. He does not analyze the practice or present the complete path. Yet in his heart, he lives according to the Dharma. He acts in harmony with the Dharma, receives it, practices it, and follows it in his life. Such a person is called ‘rain without thunder.’
“What kind of person is like no thunder and no rain? Someone neither gives Dharma talks nor explains what is good at the beginning, middle, or end. He does not analyze or present a complete path. He himself does not understand the Dharma, nor does he practice it. Such a person is called ‘no thunder and no rain.’
“What kind of person is like both thunder and rain? Someone gives Dharma talks. He explains what is good at the beginning, middle, and end. He analyzes the practice and presents the complete path. He himself understands the Dharma, lives according to it, and puts it into practice. He knows the way, finds peace in the Dharma, and truly walks the path. Such a person is called ‘both thunder and rain.’”
