v1.c24.416

¹ Thag. 303-6; ThagA. i. 396 ff. According to A. iii. 366 ff. Dhammika had to leave seven lodgings, one after the other, because the lay supporters of the lodgings could not tolerate his insulting ways. He therefore sought the Buddha and complained to him. The Rukkhadhamma Jātaka mentioned here is evidently not the story of the same name mentioned in the Jātaka Commentary (i. 327 ff.). The story is given in full in the Aṅguttara Nikāya (loc. cit.). There the Buddha is said to have related to him stories of several past teachers, showing the evil effects of reviling others.
