I. Talk on Wanderers (Paribbājakakathā)
“If, bhikkhus, others speak in dispraise of me, or in dispraise of the
Dhamma, or in dispraise of the Sangha, you should not give way to
resentment, displeasure, or animosity against them in your heart.
For if you were to become angry or upset in such a situation, you would only be creating an obstacle for yourselves.
If you were to become angry or upset when others speak in dispraise of
us, would you be able to recognize whether their statements are rightly
or wrongly spoken?”

“Certainly not, Lord.”

“If, bhikkhus,
others speak in dispraise of me, or in dispraise of the Dhamma, or in
dispraise of the Sangha, you should unravel what is false and point it
out as false, saying:
‘For such and such a reason this is false, this is untrue, there is no such thing in us, this is not found among us.’

“And if, bhikkhus, others speak in praise of me, or in praise of the
Dhamma, or in praise of the Sangha, you should not give way to
jubilation, joy, and exultation in your heart.
For if you were to
become jubilant, joyful, and exultant in such a situation, you would
only be creating an obstacle for yourselves.
If others speak in
praise of me, or in praise of the Dhamma, or in praise of the Sangha,
you should acknowledge what is fact as fact, saying:
‘For such and such a reason this is a fact, this is true, there is such a thing in us, this is found among us.’
