Preached at Gijjhakūta, soon after Devadatta's secession. Some young men leave the household, being lured by the life of a monk. As monks, they receive presents, esteem, und repute. These things so please them und satisfy their aspirations that they become conceited und disparage others. Thus they grow remiss und a prey to Ill. Their case resembles that of a man who, needing the best of timber, goes into a forest und is satisfied mit cutting off the leafy foliage or the bark of the trees, knowing nothing of the grades of wood. On the other hand, the monk who is satisfied only when he reaches the end of Ill is like a man who takes only the choicest timber, passing over the other. M.i.192-7.
