Anaṅgaṇasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Majjhimanikāya · Vol. 12 · Section 65

[65] It is possible, friend, that some bhikkhu here might have a wish arise thus: 'Oh, that I alone might teach the Dhamma to the bhikkhunīs who have come to the monastery … might teach the Dhamma to the laymen (upāsaka) … might teach the Dhamma to the laywomen (upāsikā) who have come to the monastery, and that no other bhikkhu might teach the Dhamma to the laywomen who have come to the monastery!' But it is possible, friend, that some other bhikkhu teaches the Dhamma to the laywomen who have come to the monastery, and that bhikkhu does not teach the Dhamma to the laywomen who have come to the monastery. Thinking, 'Another bhikkhu is teaching the Dhamma to the laywomen who have come to the monastery; I am not teaching the Dhamma to the laywomen who have come to the monastery,' he becomes angry and displeased. That anger, friend, and that displeasure — both of these are a blemish (aṅgaṇa).
