10: The Chapter about the Stick – 132<br />

Comparing oneself with others<br />

The group of six monks fought with and chased off the group<br />

of seventeen monks, and took their rooms, which caused the<br />

latter to threaten them; the Buddha laid down a rule against<br />

threatening, and spoke this verse.<br />

130. Sabbe tasanti daṇḍassa, sabbesaṁ jīvitaṁ piyaṁ,<br />

attānaṁ upamaṁ katvā, na haneyya na ghātaye.<br />

Everyone trembles at the stick,<br />

for all of them their life is dear,<br />

comparing oneself with others,<br />

one should not hurt or have them hurt.
