What are the six roots of disputes? (1) It may be that a monk is angry and resentful. One who is angry and resentful is disrespectful and undeferential toward the Teacher, the Teaching, and the Sangha, and he doesn’t fulfill the training. Such a person creates disputes in the Sangha. Disputes are unbeneficial and a cause of unhappiness for humanity; they are harmful, detrimental, and a cause of suffering for gods and humans. When you see such a root of disputes either in yourself or in others, you should make an effort to get rid of it. If you don’t see such a root either in yourself or in others, you should practice so that it does not emerge in the future. In this way that bad root of disputes is abandoned and does not emerge in the future.
