Verse 277 for 4 October, 2026
277. What sort of person should not be followed? In this case, a person who is inferior to oneself in morality, concentration and wisdom is not to be followed, served or honoured except out of consideration and compassion for him. And what sort of person should be followed? In this case, a person who is equal to oneself in morality, concentration and wisdom should be followed, served and honoured, thinking: "As we are both proficient in morality, concentration and wisdom, our conversation will center on these things and it will contribute to our profit and comfort." And what sort of person is to be followed, served, honoured, and worshipped with reverence? In this case, a person who is superior to oneself in morality, concentration and wisdom should first be reverently worshipped and then followed, served, and honoured, thinking: "In this way I shall complete the morality, concentration and wisdom which is not yet complete and supplement that which is."
