20: Faults
Dhp 253 Ujjhānasaññittheravatthu
The Fate of a Fault-Finder
A monk is always finding fault with the others, so
they ask the Buddha about it. This is his
admonition.
384. Paravajjānupassissa, niccaṁ ujjhānasaññino,
Āsavā tassa vaḍḍhanti, ārā so āsavakkhayā.
He who looks for another's faults,
Who is an abject complainer,
For him the pollutants increase,
He is far from their destruction.
