The Discourse on What Morality
327.
"Of what morality, of what conduct, developing what actions,
Would a man rightly settled attain the highest good?"
328.
One should be respectful to elders and not envious, and one who knows the proper time for an audience with teachers;
Knowing the moment for a talk on the Teaching that is spoken, one should attentively listen to the well-spoken words.
329.
"One should go to the presence of teachers at the proper time, having rejected obstinacy, humble in conduct;
The meaning, the Teaching, self-control, the holy life, one should both recollect and practise.
330.
"Delighting in the Teaching, devoted to the Teaching, established in the Teaching, and knowing how to discern the Teaching,
One should not engage in talk that corrupts the Teaching, but should be guided by true, well-spoken words.
331.
"Laughter, prattle, lamentation, anger, deceitfulness, scheming, greed, conceit;
Rivalry, harshness, corruption and infatuation, having abandoned these, one should wander free from vanity, of established self.
332.
"Well-spoken words have cognition as their substance, and learning has cognised concentration as its substance;
Neither wisdom nor learning grows for that man who is rash and heedless.
333.
"And those who delight in the Teaching proclaimed by the Noble One,
They are unsurpassed in speech, in mind, and in action;
They are established in peace, meekness, and concentration,
And have reached the core of learning and wisdom."
The Discourse on What Morality is concluded as ninth.
