Tissasutta

sn21.9:1.1 At Sāvatthī.

sn21.9:1.2 Then Venerable Tissa—the Buddha’s cousin on his father’s side—went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. He was miserable and sad, with tears flowing. Then the Buddha said to him:

sn21.9:1.3 “Tissa, why are you sitting there so miserable and sad, with tears flowing?”

sn21.9:1.4 “Sir, it’s because the mendicants beset me on all sides with sneering and jeering.”

sn21.9:1.5 “That’s because you admonish others, but don’t accept admonition yourself.

sn21.9:1.6 As a gentleman who has gone forth out of faith from the lay life to homelessness, it’s not appropriate for you to admonish others without accepting admonition yourself.

sn21.9:1.7 It’s appropriate for you to

sn21.9:1.8 admonish others and accept admonition yourself.”
