[191] "Bhikkhus, what is the danger of waves? Here, bhikkhus, a certain clansman (kulaputta) has gone forth out of faith (saddhā) from the household life into homelessness, thinking: 'I am immersed in birth, aging, and death, in sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair; I am immersed in suffering (dukkha), oppressed by suffering. Perhaps the making of an end of this entire mass of suffering might be discerned.' When he has thus gone forth, his companions in the holy life admonish and instruct him: 'You should go forward thus; you should return thus; you should look ahead thus; you should look aside thus; you should bend your limbs thus; you should stretch them out thus; you should wear the outer robe and carry the bowl and robes thus.' He thinks: 'Formerly, when we lived the household life, we admonished and instructed others; yet these bhikkhus, who seem to be but the measure of our sons, but the measure of our grandsons, imagine that we are to be admonished and instructed by them!' He disavows the training and reverts to the lower life. This, bhikkhus, is called one who, afraid of the danger of waves, has disavowed the training and turned back. 'The danger of waves,' bhikkhus, is a designation for anger and despair (kodhupāyāsa)."
