Verbal violence and inner hatred produce hardness in the mind; through silence, softness, and patience, the mind can become gentle, so that virtue arises and the wound heals.
The text deals with the handling of verbal violence and inner hardness in a Buddhist context. It compares hurtful words to weapons that inflict wounds, and emphasizes that such wounds can heal if one does not continue to stretch them. Silence is presented as the central method: not to continue the stretching of the conflict, but to accept it in stillness. The mind must be made soft and gentle before virtue can arise; hardness and rigidity arise from the roots of hatred and delusion. Through an anecdote involving the nun Visākhā and Upasā, it is shown how yielding and the recollection of the Buddha's wisdom make the mind softer. The message is directed at monks and laypeople, who are to learn to develop patience and virtue rather than to judge.

Full text in English
There is a young man, a monk, who went to the market. He was right in the middle of the market. Oh my, an elderly person, how interesting, sitting there, criticizing, criticizing, criticizing. The mistake, he did not accept it. It became a new problem. The last will, I am in the market, the ground. That is interesting, the ground, the ground, the deity. Look at the middle of the market, criticizing, sitting there, should be gentle. In the middle of the ground, in the middle, standing on the side, standing, not accepting each other. Hey, why did it come to this? What is this matter? I am happy at the time of the update. This is a video broadcasting the sound throughout Thailand. Listen to the program according to the morning. According to the morning, it is not available for memorization, but it is available for putting into the heart. It helps the digital work. In every day of happiness, it is a period of the vow of the promise. It is a story that clarifies the heart. It is a change of character to become a good arrangement of life. Beautiful with you, I will bring the Jataka of the vow, the vow of the good arrangement, which has a spark in the story, to tell you to listen. If we listen, we will be able to listen to the essence of our story. Do not get stuck with just the essence alone, because then you will get a benefit that arises, like a little one. Because every teaching of the Buddha must have a head, a direction, that will be a Dhamma that touches the heart, so that we can look at ourselves with eyes composed of wisdom. When we search, when we listen, when we get our story, there is an essence of our story related to the Story itself. Who does what, where, how. There is an essence of our story related to the parable. This thing, this person, this animal, this atmosphere, what does it mean? It has something that is a parable. A parable is suggested in the name. It refers to the teaching, the value, that this thing wants to convey. It will come to know everything, or rather, suffering, or rather, knowing the detector, survival, or non-survival, or something. In our listening for the first time, it is many essences. When we keep listening, we will get a benefit immediately. When the benefit arises with the person who has listened a lot before, from a person who was not good, who did not know anything, confused, making mistakes, doing wrong, until becoming a good person, knowing what should be done, knowing what should be avoided. It is a series that I have brought to compose the story for the Dhamma to listen to, like an episode ending. A series of turning oneself, turning the heart, of our listeners, persons whose conduct is not yet very good, and then turning themselves, changing their minds, with the power of the Buddha’s story of turning the heart, how? Today there will be a new character, a young one, listening, whose heart is hard, loud, not accepting the teaching that says one is right, not listening a little, accepting this is not right, accepting being overwhelmed, accepting people criticizing too. And also the grandchildren of Lady Visakha, who comes to give alms regularly. When she comes, she brings her children and grandchildren with her. Each child and grandchild makes a face that is full, fully, with the nature of an animal. There is where we prepare food for the monks. Some bring a set, some bring a set, some bring two sets or one set, every day. But she prepares a hundred sets, every day. And then she brings it up in that matter. I am comfortable. For the other day, this granddaughter also did her duty very well, right there, listening. Preparing food, water, tea, water, used when receiving monks. On the day of the alms round, she brought it up. Her mind was agitated. That day she poured water, gave it to the monks. She poured water, did not drink some, saying that while her hand was still, how much? Yes, because she saw her own face in the water bowl. When she was about to pour water, to offer to the monks, one monk. This monk is a monk who is not yet old, and also newly ordained. That is, a newly ordained monk has two types, everyone listening. Newly ordained when still young, and newly ordained when old. There will be a monk’s karma. This is, General, like this type. Newly ordained when young, not knowing anything, there will be a core, a lot of karma. It has never known anything, doing things, closing, doing wrong. This comes in one way. But it is not that everyone is the same. Because the core that is not good, something of the old monk newly ordained or the young monk newly ordained, also comes to reside in this karma. This comes again, everyone listening. If it resides, the strong love of the Buddha’s teaching, combined, it is a strong love that is like giving. The giver will surely go to heaven. The one who does good will surely get good. It is like this. The one who expects will surely get. Hey, hoping, not saying this, not doing anything, so putting in some, putting in, so going, going. The Christian church, you expect, mother met with expectation, your father also expects. Then, you like it, okay. I am not a single person, father, mother, bursting. Wow, I even met a person like this today. Oh, doing this is easy, go, everyone. Cry, just cry, go to the teacher, go to the branch. This little child is also comfortable, not knowing, listening. Because the thing she is saying, the thing that this Buddha is, is if it is finished, here, the principle is right here, child listening. That is, what state, let it all go. Let it go when? Let it go when a person has hair, hair and beard, together with dyeing water, coming out of the matter of being a monk, being a person without this matter. What weapons or abilities that will be used to do harm, doing harm is one of these, must be removed, at the time of the ordination. The robe and the bowl are weapons. The only one is wisdom, that will fight defilements. Because the robe and the bowl are like a man with a gun. You will only use it to fight defilements. You cannot use it to fight people.
The words that are to be used as weapons are like spears that pierce others. Remove them. The focused thoughts that are to be laid aside, that cause harm, that transgress against people, must be removed. Those that are to be used to wound others, having hair and nails cut, are already smooth and refined. The color of the hair is like a small wound, or a wound from a blade. Likewise, food for the body is a taste. The existence that you are weary of, according to what is most necessary, is also fine, like a beggar. Oh! How many! But for the Buddha who must have loving-kindness, is it not already a strength? It is said that the Buddha has always been like this, my child. The Buddha has the power of sovereignty, is a strength. Even a child has crying, which is a strength. Then wanting anything is easy. advertisements will be available. And did not get validity. Crying loudly. walkaa mom. Crying is a strength. People who are defeated. People who are defeated in focusing on faults are a strength. It is Nana. It is Golf. 有ต למ�די. Having not focusing on faults is a strength. Those who are the most defiled also have the power of Tolkien. Inviting different sweet, sweet, lacking, lacking. The Buddha also says, you are lacking first, sweet, can be heard, this is a continuous matter. Some, it does not stop at this point because, kick, we receive this wound, this house, is it not already present? The teacher also comes along, the teacher also comes to find. seekers eye. Time, together. Otelag switched to this depth. It is not a problem, you. I apologize, comfort her. Tell the people, message to the people. The people also say, Teacher, can you speak like this? Why not say, the defilements of yourself, the defilements of all, speaking incorrectly. When does差不多 Einsteinов? The teacher also went along, then began the continuous process in the sangha. For this, we can see the tragic matter. Then just, according to the list, then just, that they must take the drama once you're gone. It is a matter of Ath punched. It begins with OrR supportive. It ches Zhang. Then, the matter, yes, a little, jointly enough, inad, so much, better than not saying that word, and then taking that word, is a topic for this word. Can you relate to it? It does not have an ending that can be obtained right there, because the sharpness has entered things. That is a fault, once it enters the mind of anyone, it also finds matters to focus on faults, to be a topic that will cause mutual fault-finding, in order to continue the word, to continue the matter. From the narrative, the branch spoke this word. The physician does not yield. The king of the king, to anger, spoke this word. The physician spoke this thing, still does not yield. One cannot speak for oneself, so then took the key NEW chassis Maßcountry arm. Water did not take the branch spoke into the word ys. The physician sleeping also spoke again. It continues the karma, to continue, because it is called continuing the length, stretching the duration. It does not end. It is worth saying that it will end, and if there is anger, it is correct, but it does not end at all. Because of that, there is a characteristic that the mind has the anger of the weapon of speech. One of many is silence. Silence here is not continuing the length, not stretching the duration. Oh, accepting it. It is not that one must say, I am wrong, you are right, but just remain silent. That it is a person, silent, not truly silent, silent in front, but behind the scenes speaking well, it does not truly end. This is also not the way it is intended, that it ends and is over. This is also not the way it is intended, that it ends and is over. Thus, in this case, thinking up to the Buddha. The Buddha created it well, at the time when he was about to return to the monastery. Upon knowing the matter, or where to go, both, with the vehicle, which is the Indriya-paropariya-yaana, the vehicle that knows the strengths and weaknesses of all beings, that the Buddha would know directly there, and then know, in this monastery, what we should do so that this matter can be received. Where is the knot? Ah, the knot is at the point. We also see that sonic will be able to endure, that sistew, it cannot endure here. What to do so that you can do it? The Buddha, the person who cannot endure at this point, correctly says... You, at that time, have the virtues, excessively, have the virtues, can you? Until camar has no attention. It is a tip, the mind must be soft, the mind must endure, ready with the virtues cred. The virtues kat. But if the mind has hardness, even if there are virtues that are the virtues of the self, they can arise. The hardness that is above is because of the price of dosa-moha, and it makes it hot, makes it warm, makes it hard, coming out as a form of sam, or truly, that is, if our mind has hardness, the root of dosa-moha, it can arise. That is, it is both sides, both ways. That is, each side has two ways. That side is the side that is wholesome and the side that is unwholesome, going both ways, both that guided, wholesome then returning, both that ya-pratung then endpoint unwholesome, also returning. This is with the fact that the Buddha has the vehicle that knows the strengths and weaknesses, the Indriya-paropariya-yaana. The mind is hard at this moment. This form must make the mind soft, make the mind gentle first. When the mind is soft, the mind is gentle, kusala-dhamma can arise to you. See the movement. This is a taste that the Buddha made arise in that discourse, that how, that how, then there will be a mind that is soft, that is gentle, that can be softened, arising from the body that is from the mother Visakha, following her own child.
Because she followed along, not following the bhikkhu, the bhikkhu’s mind was neither soft nor gentle. The preceptor came again, and she followed along with Visakha again, not following this bhikkhu. This bhikkhu’s mind was neither soft nor gentle. That is, we, his descendant, did not yield; the descendant’s mind was neither soft nor gentle. It was understood that following along is through spoken words of hope. That is, the one who will speak with this bhikkhu saying, “Hey, do it this way, do it that way.” We also went to speak with Lady Visakha, beginning to say, “Oh, the fact that your descendant has struck the bhikkhu, causing him to lose his head, and then struck the bhikkhu, causing all his nails to fall off, this should be battling. When the bhikkhu passed away, oh, knowing the Buddha, following along at this moment, her mind softened and became gentle. Then the Buddha rose up immediately. Or, ‘Oh, the Buddha, truly possessing excellent wisdom. The preceptor of the Buddha’s words, there is none. Lady Visakha came to the preceptor, and it was not even good. She could not control her mind. The bhikkhu, upon passing away, thought of the Buddha, that the Buddha truly possesses excellent wisdom. He taught the Dhamma in a way that a person does not commit evil deeds, does not live with negligence, does not hold wrong views, does not become a person of ill will. This technique has come right here. Oh, committing evil deeds is difficulty, harshness, and that is sloppiness, even seeing oneself in water. All of this. A person who lives with negligence is constantly measuring back and forth in this direction and that direction, called having wrong views. It is often said that wrong views mean having a distorted perspective, a perspective that gives rise to defilements. Having wrong views, living like this, is called being a defiler of the world, born to eat, born to run, born to use up the world’s resources, losing happiness. But if we have right views, let’s go first, that is, a perspective that gives rise to defilements, settling down, is called living without moderation, is called not doing evil deeds, doing good deeds, not defiling the world, eating without losing happiness. With this understanding, it is indeed so. Evil deeds, then, return to the five aggregates in this way. Is it not karma? We, that is, went to this bhikkhu. He was angry, because he spoke about the matter of the head, saying, “If the head is lost, but we bhikkhus do not speak about the matter of the head, going on like that is not right. The other party gladly accepts admonition with great humility. That is pointing out faults, not focusing on faults. Pointing out faults is the characteristic of a benefactor, who will point out errors and areas that can be improved, sometimes with the mind, sometimes with the body, in order to help them have understanding. The mind of a person who gladly listens, who receives it with humility and softness, that will be beneficial. Our speech, then, will be words composed of benefit, words of a benefactor. Here, we do not forbid hope, for the mind of this bhikkhu, to become soft, to listen to words, that is indeed so. But it is pointing out faults, regarding the fact that, after eating, what he does is defiling. Oh, but he understands that, oh, it is something we can correct. If listening, understanding in the context of one person has already been done, hmm, then it comes to the sutta. It leads us to listen, listening to the narrative section, then having many perspectives. Hmm, we can then allow the arising of knowing, the arising of understanding, together. There is the matter of the bhikkhu’s softness that has been declared in the narrative text. It is a matter of the conflict between one bhikkhu and Lady Visakha. What we think we have gained from this story is that the mind must be soft and gentle; harshness and rigidity will have a very low effect on understanding. That the mind becomes soft and gentle, knowing harshness and rigidity, is like following along in the sense of the Buddha’s reliance, the Kalayamitta, that is, the one who will invite and lead to the arising of, the Kalayamitta can do it. There are many of them, indeed. It will be a sect that can be seen together. That is the husband of Lady Vuthra, Lady Vuthra, another listener. The story of Lady Silima, which we have heard before in previous episodes, it is, or it is, about Lady Silima, that is, she, Uttara, was divorced and left in the morning of a family that did not count or the Buddha’s teachings. She thus did not get the opportunity to let them make merit at all. She also complained to her father, not wanting anything about this matter, not seeking happiness. Oh, Lady Silima, this is a lot. She smiled, like, seeing something big and beautiful, still thinking of the goodness of the person who might come to harm herself. She would think inwardly, there is none at all. She thinks only of his goodness, his goodness helping herself who has come. This is thus excellent speech in singing with the channel, being hit by the husband, oh, not caring. I will let you, I will do good. Being accused by him of doing harm, not caring. I think only of the goodness of the person who helps us. I apologize, just to have it, because she passed through the matter of being wrongly harmed, and then Lady Silima opened up, her heart rising again. This is one of the same things, that one can change the mind of Lady Silima. First, the impact between Lady Visakha and the bhikkhu, one came to set this, and then summarized in the ear, that is, do not defile the world. The second matter is the story of Lady Silima and Lady Uttara, which will come in the form of accusing each other, pretending to each other. The Buddha told it thus, saying: “Aggahetabbaṃ ca, chinnena aggaṃ, āsāṭhaṃ sāṭhena, chinnena, cittaṃ kareyya, nāhaṃ, saccena, aṭṭi, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ, chinnena, kathaṃ, nāhaṃ, tāṃ, kathaṃ,
