Chapter 27
Na bÈlo koci maÒtha.
Sanghasamin bhijja mÈnasmiÑ,
NÈnan bhiyo amannayuÑ.
Those
bhikkhus
, with foul mouth and rude manners, have boisterous,
cheerless voices; they are of the same type of persons with impure hearts;
there is no one amongst them who knows his own folly or foolishness.
Above all, none of these
bhikkhus
has realized that dissension amongst the
members of Order has arisen because of him (his conduct).
ParinmuthÈ paÓÉitabhÈsÈ,
vÈcÈgocara bhÈÓino.
YÈvicchanti mukhÈyÈmaÑ;
yena nÊtÈ na taÑ vidÈ.
Those
bhikkhus
, with foul mouth and rude manners, are greatly infatuated by
delusion, intent only on quarrelling and under the guise of wise and
intelligent persons. (they do not dwell in contemplative mood)
They open their wide mouths and utter abusive language without any sense
of shame or dread of blame; (none of them keep silent as a gesture of regard
and respect for the Sangha). They are ignorant of the fact that such acts of
quarrels and conflicts invariably lead to a state of shamefulness. They do not
perceive that ill-will (anger) leads them on to such shameful acts.

do not care to forbear against that aggressor in the interest of peace and
tranquillity, the flame of enmity will not die down, but it will keep on
burning up to the time of dissolution of a world-system.
"Forbearance sould be The Batch of A Bhikkhu"
AkkocchimaÑ avadhi maÑ,
ajinimaÑ ahÈsi me.
Ye ca taÑ nupanayhanti,
veraÑ tes|pasammati.
If you do not harbour any resentment against a person who has abused you,
who has tormented you, who has over-powered you, who has robbed or
deprived you of your property, through forbearance and equanimity, the
flame of enmity is bound to dwindle to a vanishing point for lack of fresh
fuel!
Na hi verena verÈni,
sammantÊdha kudÈcanaÑ.
Averena ca sammati,
esa dhammo sanantano.
In this world, the flame of animosity cannot be extinguished by harbouring
resentment and taking revenge on one another. To wash ordure by means of
ordure will not be of any avail! Ordure could be cleaned by means of pure
