The Discourse on the Removal of Lust
96.
"Monks, there are these four persons existing and found in the world.
Which four?
One practising for personal welfare but not for the welfare of others, one practising for the welfare of others but not for personal welfare, one practising neither for personal welfare nor for the welfare of others, one practising both for personal welfare and for the welfare of others.
And how, monks, is a person practising for personal welfare but not for the welfare of others? Here, monks, a certain person is himself practising for the removal of lust, but does not encourage others to remove lust; he is himself practising for the removal of hate, but does not encourage others to remove hate; he is himself practising for the removal of delusion, but does not encourage others to remove delusion. Thus, monks, a person is practising for personal welfare but not for the welfare of others.

Thus, monks, a person is practising both for personal welfare and for the welfare of others. These, monks, are the four persons existing and found in the world." The sixth.
