If a monk is difficult to correct: if he is hard to correct, endowed with qualities that make him hard to correct, resistant, not receiving instructions respectfully. Concerning the training rules that are recited: concerning the training rules of the Monastic Code. The monks: other monks. Legitimately: the training rules laid down by the Buddha—this is called “legitimately”. When corrected in regard to this, he makes himself incorrigible, saying, “Venerables, don’t say anything to me, either good or bad, and I won’t say anything to you, either good or bad. Please refrain from correcting me.” Him: the monk who is difficult to correct.
