18: The Chapter about Stains – 228<br />

The fate of a fault-finder<br />

Ven. Ujjhānasaññī was always finding fault with the others, so<br />

the monks asked the Buddha about it; he remarked that one<br />

who is scrupulous is doing well, but one who enjoys finding<br />

fault makes no progress, and he taught them with this verse.<br />

253. Paravajjānupassissa niccaṁ ujjhānasaññino,<br />

āsavā tassa vaḍḍhanti, ārā so āsavakkhayā.<br />

One who looks for another’s faults,<br />

who is an abject complainer,<br />

for him the pollutants increase,<br />

he is far from their destruction.
