Far apart
[005.07] Bhikkhus, these four things are far apart. What four?
Bhikkhus, the sky is far away from the earth, the great ocean's hither shore and the thither shore is the second, where the sun rises and where it sets, and the Conduct&Teaching of those with integrity and the teaching of those without integrity is the fourth.
Bhikkhus, these four things are far apart.
The sky and earth are far apart, so too the two shores of the great ocean,
The sun rises and sets far away, the Conduct&Teaching of those with integrity is different from other teachings.
The Conduct&Teaching of community of those with integrity is stable and stays as long as life lasts.
The Conduct&Teaching of communities of those without integrity changes and wanes quickly
Therefore the Conduct&Teaching of people with integrity is far remote from other's Conduct&Teaching.
