The First Discourse on Cordiality
11.
"Monks, there are these six principles of cordiality.
Which six?
Here, monks, a monk has bodily action of friendliness present towards his fellows in the holy life both openly and in private. This too is a principle of cordiality.
"Furthermore, monks, a monk has verbal action of friendliness present towards his fellows in the holy life both openly and in private. This too is a principle of cordiality.
"Furthermore, monks, a monk has mental action of friendliness present towards his fellows in the holy life both openly and in private. This too is a principle of cordiality.
"Furthermore, monks, a monk, with those gains that are righteous and righteously acquired, even as little as what is contained in the bowl, is one who shares without reservation with such gains, one who shares in common with virtuous fellows in the holy life. This too is a principle of cordiality.
"Furthermore, monks, a monk dwells having attained similarity of morality with his fellows in the holy life both openly and in private in such moral practices that are unbroken, without holes, unspotted, unblemished, liberating, praised by the wise, not adhered to, and conducive to concentration. This too is a principle of cordiality.
"Furthermore, monks, a monk dwells having attained similarity of view with his fellows in the holy life both openly and in private in such a view that is noble and leading to liberation, that leads one who practises it to the complete elimination of suffering. This too is a principle of cordiality. These, monks, are the six principles of cordiality." The first.
