Who, when repeatedly mistreated, does not speak directly but instead hatches plans of revenge, acts from the heart of a person with evil thoughts; the right path is direct conversation.
The text tells a Jātaka story about a crocodile (Kotha) and a caiman who play together. The crocodile grows faster and in doing so presses on the caiman, who suffers. The crocodile's father warns his child not to play with the smaller animal, because the differences in size lead to suffering. The caiman, who is repeatedly mistreated, eventually forms the plan to ally with others in order to destroy the crocodile. The text derives from this that one should speak directly with one another in the face of dissatisfaction, rather than hatching plans of revenge. It is emphasized that one can develop wisdom from the teachings of the Buddha by considering various perspectives. The text refers to the dawn and the daily broadcast as the framework for the Dharma instruction.

There was a Varanus, a monitor lizard, that went to play with a stork. They played as is the nature of animals, the monitor lizard and the stork went to play together. The monitor lizard, the golden monitor, was larger in body, so it went on top of it, it squeezed the stork, that is, the stork, which was smaller in body, was made to suffer, was made to be in distress. This is the karma that has been arranged. Oh, and it was done easily. Glad to meet you. The name of this animal, the radio, the Thai National Broadcasting, together with the forest wisdom, presenting the program "Dhamma Receives the Dawn," with Khru Pra Phra Phap Phibul, Ajahn Bunno, as the presenter, coming to meet the listeners as usual every day. On the day that they met, there were stories that were different and varied. The face of listening, the face of research, the face of study, the face of following, chosen from the teachings of the Buddha, that one cannot be on one side, one must be on both sides, once on one side then on the other, why go to one side? Going to one side must be to increase mindfulness and wisdom. For a person to have wisdom arise in the mind, there must be three things that support it. When it falls down, it also hits the star, and then it also hits the earth, and the earth is empty. The one that falls down and hits the star, why does it come out bitter? Well, the fruit is bitter, the rind is bitter. If it is the same water that falls on the earth, the earth is empty, the earth is void, why are these sweet? It is the same water, what? But it is the transformation of the star that it is bitter, the transformation of the earth that it is sweet. So one knows, wisdom arises, and then one takes our various matters, those matters, to explain to the listeners, every day in the morning, it is the time of the Jataka tales. The presenter will bring Jataka tales, tales of the past, to tell to the listeners. These various tales, the listeners should regard them as part of the search for words, that is gathered as an explanation of words, as an explanation of terms, that the Buddha has explained, has spoken. The content that comes before, that makes one speak of this matter, is the matter of tales, so the matter of tales, some are brought from the past, some are Jataka tales. Before coming to speak of this matter in the telling of this story like this, that story, the part that comes before, when the Buddha told the tale, did not go to be together, was collected as a separate text, a separate book. This is a good thing, this is a taste, different from the teachings of the Buddha, that one separates the parts of information, so that we can use things according to their importance. There is the one in front, the one behind, and because one should make the mind still, what is different from what, there is the tale of the Kotha Jataka, that is the matter of the monitor lizard, which has a friend that is a stork. The stork, that is the stork, that may be in the same family. A stork, a large one, or a stork, we look by the matter of the body, the body, the stork must be larger in body, but it is still smaller than the monitor lizard, that is the Varanus, that even a small one, certainly, or when it was a child, playing together, they might be the same size, but the Varanus, it is faster in body, its body is larger. With the habit of going to visit each other, the stork came to play at the house of the Varanus. Kothasana saw and warned his child, that is, the child, the little one, the child. Kotha, that is the monitor lizard. This matter is going to speak of the Varanus that is still small, it is still a child, it has not grown, its body is not very large. It told its child, saying, "This child, do not go to play with the stork, it is a different species, a different kind, it is not good. The nature of a single animal, the difference will be in size, the one that is smaller in size will suffer, the one that is larger in size will gain. So it speaks of the matter that if we go to play with an animal that is smaller, of a lower birth, it is not good, do not do that. But the child did not listen. With the fondness for each other, they were like companions, going to visit each other, playing together. When the little one, the little Varanus, it grew larger, larger, playing together as before, or with the larger body that played together, it was crushed, squeezed, pressed. The stork, it could not breathe. Wherever they played, I was crushed, I was harmed, I was squeezed every time. It would receive suffering, or, do not do that, do not sit like that. They were doing it all the time. The stork was angry, it did not understand. That is, the size is very different, or some, like a leg and a needle, a whole leg, that is the Varanus, the needle, that is the size of the stork, the size of the large and small, three needles together is only this much. It is not comparable to our whole leg, is it? The stork received suffering. It grew up, grew up, and said, do not play like that, but it did not listen. So there was a thought that would join with the others, would eliminate, would wipe out the race of the master. It said, let this one be killed. This is us, with good fortune, playing together, being companions, hey, there is a collision, playing once, twice, not listening anymore. This is a plan to take it to death, to eliminate it, not just once, but now, eliminate it entirely. Good is the mind of a person that has a thought that is cruel, joins the body, wants to eliminate. That is, if one wants to say, does not want to be involved, then choose to leave, is that right? Because one does not have to go play, if one is not satisfied or does not understand, one should talk directly, is that right? This is the protector animal, has it woken up? This is the protector animal, it is the father of this Varanus, it is a crocodile, it has woken up its child, do not go to play with that stork.
It is not good. Now, when the king vulture has finished its meal, it becomes a vehicle that looks like a strong insect. They all lead each other out of the termite mound. These human beings will all go to eat that insect. In the forest, there is a human being who is guilty. There is a farm, there are things there too. You can use its meat, you can use its flesh. In the forest, together with that, the dog also comes to search. The human being in the forest is ready to eat. This vulture sees in the forest. There are tools, there is a dog that has come. It knows well that this is in the forest. The human being is certain. So it goes to the place where it has eaten. It eats one. Then it speaks to the forest. It will say: I know the dwelling place of a hundred human beings. You must follow, right? Bring fire, bring straw. We will go to that place and set fire to it. Bring it to this place, you see. Bring the fire, bring that fire, and bring this one. As for you, stay here. Guard well. It is right here, right here. You will get many human beings for certain. In the forest, there is a thought: Oh, how good. Suddenly a vulture comes. It thinks of giving, telling the way, leading the way too. There is no harm. Deal with the big one, that is the human being, or deal with the small one, that is the little one. This vulture has also been thought about. Then it follows the vulture. Observe that the human being, the dog, the human being, is sweet right there. Sweet in the forest. The animal is from the dog of the human being, many of them. Since the beginning of the previous time, it was said not to play with this vulture. There will be problems, there will be consequences. The consequences after this. It warned itself. It thought of a way out. So it made a passage, a hidden passage. From the hole, from its dwelling, as a special exit that is not the main exit of every dog. It dug a new hole to use only in case of emergency. That is, when a person begins to see danger coming, they must begin to look for a way down, a way out for themselves. Preparing a way out is prudence. It is the wisdom of the animal. When something happens that we cannot control, we look for a way down, a way out. We must prepare a way out. That is responsibility. For what? So that we do not have to worry in the future. If that day comes and this vulture really brings disaster, we will not have to worry. We were warned. Why speak? This will lead to death. If we do not prepare a way out, that day when we finally speak, it will be too late. Oh, there is no way out. That is all. This is worrying in the future. Prepare a way out. It seems... we are saying that, hmm, when the situation is not good, then if we reach the day when the situation is really not good, it was said that the clinic, the top, will fall. Then what did you prepare? How much money do you have saved as a reserve? How much is in the account? What did you do in the beginning? Are you preparing? Or not? Prepare a backup. Know the way, the exit of the human being. The vulture tells to bring the fire in through this way. It is a place for air. Let the dog guard here, which is the different entrance and exit. And you, which one is the forest, stay here. When it is done, when any one comes out, hit its head. When it comes out, hit it with a stick. Full knockout, like a fish. It does not go into the cage. Another one comes, hit it with a stick. Whichever one comes out, hit it, hit it in every way. Hit the head, hit the face, hit the head fully. At once, it is done. It is knocked out. If it does not die, it falls in, it falls into the cage. Keep it locked up. Some die. They die from blood loss. The dog, the human being, the whole dog of the human being. It is finished. Whichever one runs away first can escape. Some are caught but not fully knocked out. They run away. Some wake up and run away. Because the path here does not go that way. It goes out through the passage, the hidden passage, that it prepared before. And if it is the most extreme in the time to come, there is none. The extreme is not the only one that is not fully knocked out. If it is all of them, there is none. Like the things of yesterday that were stored. But in the wrong wisdom, it will be fully knocked out. There is none. The hidden danger will come in the future danger. And if the worry arises and it was not prepared before, the worry in the future will come and it will be a beautiful prayer. The dog, the human being who received the disaster, received the hardship, received the separation, received this, will go to which one? And there is the thing of concentration, wisdom, complete. This matter, our God gave to hear the monk. That it will go to join the one who is in the same side as the Buddha. At that time, the Buddha began to make the community split. And it will divide sides, divide groups. God is in that place, itself also separates and makes. It is like itself being God on the other side. There is a secret that exceeds the limit. Prince Ajasattha is the one who attends, who serves. He can receive that there is a secret, so he is intoxicated with us. This monk goes to play, goes to talk, goes to do things with friends who are on the side of the Buddha. So it makes the attendance, the manner, the bearing not equal. There is a difference. The one who has the quality of a king. This is on the side that has importance. Because it is the one in the manner who was born with a good birth. It is different from the one who has a bad birth. That is the quality of a king. This is how it is. But the quality of a human being, God taught that a person's good or bad fate is not because of birth.
If one is born on a good day, one is a person who is content but does good deeds, and good deeds then arise in abundance. But if one is born on a bad day, born as a Kshatriya, on a good day ahead, but does bad deeds, then it is different from a king. One cannot look only at the line of birth; one must also know the deeds. In a good birth, there are many auspicious things. In a good birth, there are many auspicious things. In a good birth that has merit, there are things that are auspicious, that are merit, that are what follows. There will be an auspicious elephant, that is, an elephant that has all the qualities of merit. There will be an auspicious horse, there will be wealth, there will be what is auspicious, the property of the city. One of them is an auspicious horse. The king then ordered that this auspicious horse be taken care of very well. He had people find the best food to give to the auspicious horse as alms. The place where it sleeps is not just any old thing thrown on top; good-quality bedding is placed there. There are cushions to lean on and sit on, all very good. Now, some people who keep dogs, keep cats, take care of them even better than they take care of people. They raise them like their own children. They have a better bed with a good-quality cushion, they find the best food to give as alms. They must make a room for it to live in, build a room for the cat to play in, there are cat toys, there is a lot of it. There must be a place to drink water, a place for the cat to drink water, a place for the kitten. Oh, everything is special. But the cat is an ordinary cat. When it is ready to eat, it eats. Oh, the horses that are kept are also like this. Special horses, auspicious horses, are also like this. This has been the case since ancient times. The ways of keeping them are different. The auspicious horse of this king, the way of keeping it is very good. It is bathed in its own bathing pool. Every day it is bathed, the auspicious horse is bathed, and it drinks water too, in the bathing pool that it uses alone. Because in that time there were many horses. There were people who came from other countries, bringing horses from other countries, hundreds and thousands of them, coming to trade, coming to sell in the market. When they arrived, whichever bathing pool was available, they were made to go down there. The horses of all the bathing pools went down in that pool, and that pool had them too. Along the edge, all the same, hundreds of them, the body that was spoken of, the auspicious horse of the king, came to use it. The horses that were the property of the people who came also came down to that bathing pool. It was not orderly, it was confusing, the disorder, the mess, it did not look good. So it happened at that bathing pool. The horse, the auspicious horse, the people who came to feed the horse came to the bathing pool. Normally it would go down, but seeing that the bathing pool had many users, the common horses had already gone down. Oh, I will not go down there, I will not go down, I am not. Where is it that it drinks water? This one must be uncomfortable, right? It is not that it looks like it wants to walk well. How is the body, how is the egg? It looks at the food, it looks at the excrement, it looks at the nostrils, the ear canals, it looks at the teeth, it looks at the mouth, there is no problem outside. It does not look at the places that have problems. It does not look at the places that have problems. It does not look at the places that have problems.

You speak directly, stretching out, and the words become like Cap Mr Chrome teste. If it arises, will it become a sentence or not? Hissing. 對. I ask: what has been spoken, does it hit the next sentence? Philip used to be a fault with the one who raised him. That is, how did he bring it down to this water? It may be a fault with him, not arising from that sentence. Speaking directly, but that will cause harm. So it becomes the speech of Purjure. This is the speech of Satt yu ko ching. It is a direct word, it is a correct word, but it is Purjure. It is not right in time, a person who is Purjure. Because that is what is beneficial both to oneself and to others, both to other people, and also to many other thinkers who are well-rounded. On this side, look at the comparison in this sutta. But the more it goes, the more elections arise. If the craftsmen have only beauty and do not establish, then let Sister Jirana Supha be at the top, being a root, both in beauty
