16.26

「善生！弟子敬奉師長復有五事，云何為五？一者給侍所須，二者禮敬供養，三者尊重戴仰，四者師有教勅敬順無違，五者從師聞法善持不忘。善生！夫為弟子當以此五法敬事師長，師長復以五事敬視弟子，云何為五？一者順法調御，二者誨其未聞，三者隨其所問令善解義，四者示其善友，五者盡以所知誨授不悋。善生！弟子於師長敬順恭奉，則彼方安隱，無有憂畏。

“Sujata, a disciple respectfully serves his teacher in five ways. What are the five? 1. They supply the teacher with their needs, 2. pay homage and offer support to them, 3. honor and look up to their teacher, 4. honor and don’t go against their teacher’s instructions, and 5. remember and don’t forget what their teacher teaches them.

“Sujata, when a disciple respectfully serves their teacher in these five ways, their teacher respectfully looks after the disciple in five ways, too. What are the five? 1. They train their disciple to follow their teaching, 2. instruct their disciple in what they’ve yet to hear, 3. give their disciple sufficient answers when they have questions, 4. demonstrate what a good friend is, and 5. teach their disciple all that they know without holding back.

“Sujata, when a disciple respectfully serves their teacher, then that [southern] direction will be peaceful, without sorrow or fear.
