A bhikhu shall look into his own conduct
and introspect-
Am I a sinner ?
Am I overtaken by sinful desires?
If he thinks he is engrossed in sinful
behavior and desires,
he shall leave those instincts.
As a handsome youth, after dressing up,
looks into mirror
and when finds any trace of scum in his
face , removes it.
Similarly a bhikhu shall keep looking into
himself, and
if he finds any bad instinct, shall put
all efforts to removes it.
When a bhikhu condemns other, speak harsh
and bad words,then other bhikhus do not think him
deserving of any knowledge,they distrust him and find him falling in
following any discipline .what cause a bhikhus to speak ill of
others, and condemn a bhikhu?when he has sinful desires, those desire
make him use bad and harshwords and condemn others.when someone wants to rise in life and
wants praises for oneself,butwants to insults and humilate others, that
makes one speak harshand bad words and condemn others.A bhikhu who can be furious by temperament
and controlled by thisraging instinct, he uses harsh words condemn
others.If anyone points to a flaw in one, then
one in order to settle scores,uses harsh and bad words and condemns that
person.A bhikhu whose flaw is pointed out, takes
it out of context, thuscreates anger, animosity and bad feelings.A bhikhu who get jealous and envious due o
success of others,he speak bad and harsh words and conemns.A bhikhu who practices falsehood and
indulges in fradulentbehavior, he uses harsh and bad words and
condemns others.A bhikhu who is fool and arrogant uses
harsh and bad words andcondemns others.A bhikhu looking for instant gain,
stubborn and whimsical, usesbad and harsh words and condemns
others.#majjhimnikay #buddha #mind #Dharma #bhiku
