  Speaker 1: Chapter nineteen. The just. A man is not just if
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: he carries a matter by violence. No, he who distinguishes
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: both right and wrong, who is learned and leads others
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: not by violence, but by law and equity, and who
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is guarded by the law and intelligent, he is called just.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: A man is not learned because he talks much. He
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: who is patient, free from hatred and fear, he is
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: called learned. A man is not a supporter of the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: law because he talks much. Even if a man has
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: learnt little, but sees the law bodily, he is a
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: supporter of the law. A man who never neglects the law.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: A man is not an elder because his head is gray.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: His age may be ripe, but he is called old
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in vain. He in whom there is truth, virtue, love, restraint, moderation,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: He who is free from impurity and is wise, he
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is called an elder. An envious, greedy, dishonest man does
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: not become respectable by means of much talking only, or
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: by the beauty of his complexion. He in whom all
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this is destroyed and taken out with a very root, He,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: when freed from hatred and wise, is called respectable. Not
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: by tonsure does an undisciplined man who speaks falsehood become
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a samana. Can a man be a samana who is
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: still held captive by desire and greediness? He who always
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: quiets the evil, whether small or large, he is called
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a samana. A quiet man because he has quieted all evil.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: A man is not a mendicant bicshu simply because he
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: asks others for alms. He who adopts the whole law
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: is a bichu. Not he who only begs. He who
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is above good and evil, who is chaste, who with
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: knowledge passes through the world. He indeed is called a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: bic shu. A man is not a moi because he
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: observes silence mona, that is mauna if he is foolish
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and ignorant. But the wise, who taking the balance, chooses
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the good and avoids evil, he is a moony and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is a mooney. Thereby, he who in this world weighs
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: both sides is called a mooni. A man is not
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: an elect riya because he injures living creatures, because he
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: has pity on all living creatures. Therefore is a man
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: called arriya. Not only by discipline and vows not only
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: by much learning, not by entering into a trance, not
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: by sleeping alone, do I, in the happiness of release,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: which no worldling can know? Pict be not confident as
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: long as thou hast not attained the extinction of desires.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: End of chapter nineteen.
