“Mendicants, this is definitely something worth having, that is, living in the wilderness …
eating only alms-food …
wearing rag robes …
having just three robes …
teaching Dhamma …
memorizing the texts on monastic training …
being very learned …
being respected …
being well-presented …
having a following …
having a large following …
coming from a good family …
being handsome …
being a good speaker …
having few wishes …
having good health.”
