praising oneself and disparaging others

• This behavior is not acceptable for members of the saṃgha, and is therefore proscribed in the ten grave precepts (Skt. ātmôtkarṣa-para-paṃsaka, ātmānam utkarṣayati parān paṃsayati, ātmôtkarṣa-para-paṃsanā). The precept proscribing this is called 自讚毀他戒. 〔梵網經菩薩戒本私記 HBJ 1.601c; 梵網經古迹記 T 1815.40.706b29〕 [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura,Yokoi, Hirakawa]

  • disparaging one by saying "you have committed an sin."
  • disparaging one by saying "you have a lot of mental problems."

  [resp. Charles Muller]
