[318] **Six roots of dispute (vivādamūlāni):**
(1) Here, friends, a bhikkhu is angry (kodhano) and resentful (upanāhī). Friends, a bhikkhu who is angry and resentful dwells without respect and without deference toward the Teacher, dwells without respect and without deference toward the Dhamma, dwells without respect and without deference toward the Saṅgha, and he does not fulfill the training. Friends, a bhikkhu who dwells without respect and without deference toward the Teacher, toward the Dhamma … toward the Saṅgha … and who does not fulfill the training, creates a dispute in the Saṅgha — a dispute which is for the harm of many people, for the unhappiness of many people, for the detriment of many people, for the harm and suffering (dukkha) of gods and humans. Friends, if you should perceive such a root of dispute internally or externally, then, friends, you should strive to abandon that same evil root of dispute. And, friends, if you should not perceive such a root of dispute internally or externally, then, friends, you should practice so that that same evil root of dispute does not flow in again in the future. Thus there is the abandoning of that evil root of dispute; thus there is the non-recurrence of that evil root of dispute in the future.
(2) Furthermore, friends, a bhikkhu is denigrating (makkhī) and contemptuous (palāsī) …
(3) He is envious (issukī) and stingy (maccharī) …
(4) He is deceitful (saṭho) and fraudulent (māyāvī) …
(5) He is of evil wishes (pāpiccho) and holds wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) …
(6) He adheres to his own views (sandiṭṭhiparāmāsī), holds them tenaciously, and relinquishes them with difficulty. Friends, a bhikkhu who adheres to his own views, holds them tenaciously, and relinquishes them with difficulty dwells without respect and without deference toward the Teacher, dwells without respect and without deference toward the Dhamma, dwells without respect and without deference toward the Saṅgha, and he does not fulfill the training. Friends, a bhikkhu who dwells without respect and without deference toward the Teacher, toward the Dhamma … toward the Saṅgha … and who does not fulfill the training, creates a dispute in the Saṅgha — a dispute which is for the harm of many people, for the unhappiness of many people, for the detriment of many people, for the harm and suffering of gods and humans. Friends, if you should perceive such a root of dispute internally or externally, then, friends, you should strive to abandon that same evil root of dispute. And, friends, if you should not perceive such a root of dispute internally or externally, then, friends, you should practice so that that same evil root of dispute does not flow in again in the future. Thus there is the abandoning of that evil root of dispute; thus there is the non-recurrence of that evil root of dispute in the future.
