Verses of the Senior Monks 4.3

The Book of the Fours

Chapter One

Sabhiya

1 When others do not understand,

let us, who do understand this,

restrain ourselves in this regard;

for that is how conflicts are laid to rest.

2 And when those who don’t understand

behave as though they were immortal,

those who understand the Dhamma

are like the healthy among the sick.

3 Any lax act,

any corrupt observance,

or suspicious spiritual life,

is not very fruitful.

4 Whoever has no respect

for their spiritual companions

is as far from true Dhamma

as the firmament from the earth.
