Some Jaina Canonical Sutras c8.11

c8.11

Now let us pass from the teacher to the teachings, according to which a wise man should not be angry if reprimanded. He should be of a forbearing mood. He should not associate with mean persons. He should not do anything mean (caṇḍālīya).¹ He should meditate by himself after having learnt his lessons. He should never deny it if he has done anything mean. He should not commit any evil act. He should not speak unasked for. He should not tell a lie when asked. If the self is subdued a person will be happy. It is better to subdue one's own self by self-control and penance than be subdued by others with fetters and corporal punishment.² He should never do anything disagreeable to the superiors (Buddhānam, enlightened ones) either in words or deeds, openly or secretly. He should never remain silent if spoken to by the superior. He should always politely approach his teacher.
