an.7.1 Aṅguttara Nikāya (Numbered Discourses)
Pleasing (1st)
So I have heard.At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
There the Buddha addressed the mendicants,
“Mendicants!”
“Venerable sir,” they replied.
The Buddha said this:
“Mendicants, a mendicant with seven qualities is disliked and disapproved by their spiritual companions, not respected or admired.
What seven?
It’s when a mendicant desires material possessions, honor, and to be looked up to. They lack conscience and prudence. They have wicked desires and wrong view.
A mendicant with these seven qualities is disliked and disapproved by their spiritual companions, not respected or admired.
A mendicant with seven qualities is liked and approved by their spiritual companions, respected and admired.
What seven?
It’s when a mendicant doesn’t desire material possessions, honor, and to be looked up to. They have conscience and prudence. They have few desires and right view.
