### [v1.c12.3098](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.3098)

\*\*Kesi Sutta.\*\*—The horse-trainer Kesi visits the Buddha, and in answer to a question says that he trains some horses by mildness, some by harshness, and others by both; those which do not submit to his training he destroys. The Buddha says that just so does he deal with men. Some he tames by mildness—telling them what is good and showing them the way to heaven; others by harshness—condemning the evils in them; yet others by both. Those who do not submit to this discipline he destroys, by refusing to admonish them.¹
