### [92.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.14)

又增一阿含經云。世尊告諸比丘。有人似師子者。有似羊者。云何似師子者。或有人得供養衣食等。便自食噉不起染著之心。設不得利養。不起亂念。無增減心。猶如師子王食噉小畜不生好惡染著之心。云何似羊。猶如有人受人供養便自食噉起染著心。不知惡道而自貢高。猶如群羊有一羊出群已詣大糞聚。飽食屎已還至羊群。而自貢高。我得好食。諸羊不得。是故比丘。當學師子王。莫如食糞羊也。

> Furthermore, the Ekottarika-āgama states: The World-Honored One told the bhikṣus: 'There are people who resemble lions, and there are people who resemble sheep. How do some resemble lions? Some people, having obtained offerings of robes, food, and the like, consume them without generating minds of defiled attachment. If they do not obtain gain and offerings, they do not produce agitated thoughts; they have no mind of increase or decrease. It is just like the lion king who devours small animals without producing thoughts of liking or disliking or defiled attachment. How do some resemble sheep? It is just as when someone receives offerings from people and then consumes them, generating defiled attachment; ignorant of the evil destinies, he is conceited. It is just like a flock of sheep, where one sheep leaves the flock, goes to a large dung heap, gorges on feces, and then returns to the flock, boasting conceitedly: "I have obtained fine food, which the other sheep have not obtained." Therefore, bhikṣus, you should emulate the lion king, and not be like the dung-eating sheep.'
