Luang Por Liem: The Ways of the Peaceful - Wat Pah Nanachat

The fourth point is: The Buddha didn’t allow us to falsely
claim and boast about superhuman qualities in ourselves, out of
self-importance or delusion. When we take on the status of a
monk we shouldn’t misconceive ourselves to be better than
anybody else. All of us are in the same situation, determined by
the laws of nature that we all have to experience. There is no
exception. To see ourselves like this is for the sake of reducing
feelings of self-importance that may arise.
So these four factors are called the akaraniyakicca, the actions
that shouldn’t be done. I will now announce them to you in their
original language, the language that we use in preservation of the
original teachings, so that we will be able to apply and use them
as points of practice, fulfilling the tasks and duties of a samana.
