Comm. KT: “Monks, this is the tell-tale sign of one previously of another religion in regard to not winning approval.” It is said: “Monks, when dispraise is being spoken of his teacher or ideology, whatever displeasure, manifesting as a change in his body or speech, gratification when dispraise is being spoken of the Buddha, etc., gratification when praise is being spoken of his own teacher or ideology, or displeasure when praise is being spoken of the Buddha, etc.: This is the tell-tale sign of one previously of another religion in regard to not winning approval. This is the sign, the characteristic, and the immutable standard in regard to not winning approval, not fulfilling the performance of the duties of probation.
