An old jackal howls at dawn, but even they have more gratitude than someAt Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, did you hear an old jackal howling at the crack of dawn?” “Yes, sir.” “There might be some gratitude and thankfulness in that old jackal, but there is none in a certain person here who claims to be a follower of the Sakyan son. So you should train like this: ‘We will be grateful and thankful. [Read More]

A mangy jackal howls in discomfort, but even that would be a good rebirth for some.At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, did you hear an old jackal howling at the crack of dawn?” “Yes, sir.” “That old jackal has the disease called mange. Yet it still goes where it wants, stands where it wants, sits where it wants, and lies down where it wants. And the cool breeze still blows on it. A certain person here who claims to be a follower of the Sakyan son would be lucky to experience even such an incarnation. [Read More]

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,… And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock: {performing: Hebseparating} Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth {part} of an hin of oil.

As a cat may suffer from eating too hastily, so a mendicant may suffer by not restraining senses.At Sāvatthī. Now at that time a certain junior mendicant socialized with families too often. The mendicants said to him, “Venerable, don’t socialize with families too often.” But that mendicant, when spoken to by the mendicants, did not stop. And then several mendicants went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. [Read More]

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the… Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen{substance: or, ground, or, confidence} For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. [Read More]

A mendicant who overly associates with the laity is like an elephant calf who tries to copy the great bull elephants.So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Now at that time a certain junior mendicant went to visit families too often. The mendicants said to him, “Venerable, don’t go to visit families too often.” But that mendicant, when spoken to by the mendicants, said this, “But these senior mendicants think they can go to visit families, so why can’t I?

Warriors who sleep on wooden pillows remain vigilant, and so it is for the spiritual seeker.So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof. There the Buddha addressed the mendicants, “Mendicants!” “Venerable sir,” they replied. The Buddha said this: “Mendicants, these days the Licchavis live using wood blocks as pillows, and they exercise diligently and keenly. [Read More]
