Dhammapada 77 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


6- Panditavagga, The Wise
2- Assajipunabbasuka Vatthu

Ovadeyya'nusaseyya, asabbha ca nivaraye;
satam hi so piyo hoti, asatam hoti appiyo.
77: The man of wisdom should admonish others; he should give advice and should prevent others from doing wrong; such a man is held dear by the good; he is disliked only by the bad.

Dhamma for Lifestyle (24)


Ideal Kuru Nations

While the Buddha was staying at Kammasa damma nigon in Kuru country, He gave a sermon of Maha satipatthana Sutta to the people of Kuru. The reason is that only those were able to listen to the deep in meaning of Dhamma.

At that time, the Kuru people's social development was high in complete fulfilment. The body and mind seemed to be healthy and happy due to the good climate and nutritious food. So, they could pay attention to the Dhamma. Generally, every Kuru people used to speak the words of Satipatthana and did not spend their time in idle gossip in workplace. The mutual relations among friends should be noted down for reference. When two person met, one would asked, “Hi, which dhamma do you practise?”. If the other replied, “ Nothing, because I have a lot of businesses to do”. Then he would be told that his lifestyle looked like a death and would be urged to do one of four Satipatthanas without neglection on mindfulness. If one answered, he observed in-breath and out-breath, he would be told that he was lucky in the presence of the Buddha enlightenment. That's how they were in good mutual relation.

Therfore the Kuru peoples' lifestyles were very highly developed culture. The Buddhists today should emulate them.
