What seven? Respect for the Teacher, for the teaching, for the Sa\u1e45gha, for the training, for immersion; being easy to admonish, and good friendship. These seven things don\u2019t lead to the decline of a mendicant.\u2019 That is what that deity said. Then he bowed and respectfully circled me, keeping me on his right side, before vanishing right there. Respect for the Teacher and the teaching, and keen respect for the Sa\u1e45gha; respecting immersion, being energetic, and keen respect for the training. One with good friends, easy to admonish, reverential and respectful, can\u2019t decline, and has drawn near to extinguishment.\u201d","title":"Easy to Admonish (1st)","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":119}
