The opening
FIRST LECTURE. ON DISCIPLINE.
ON DISCIPLINE.
I shall explain in due order the discipline of a houseless monk, who has got rid of all worldly ties. Listen to me. (1)
A monk who, on receiving an order from his superior, walks up to him, watching his nods and motions, is called well-behaved. (2)
But a monk who, on receiving an order from his superior, does not walk up to him, being insubordinate and inattentive, is called ill-behaved. (3)
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
