214. There are these six ways of being considerate. What six? One has love in deed toward one’s companions in the holy life, both openly and in private.
One has love in word toward one’s companions in the holy life, both openly and in private.
One has love in thought toward one’s companions in the holy life, both openly and in private.
Then, things acquired rightly and properly, be they no more than the scraps in one’s bowl, one gladly and impartially shares it with them.
Also, one has those virtues that are unbroken, without flaw, spotless, without blemish, bringing freedom, conducive to concentration, and with these, one lives in harmony with one’s fellows in the holy life.
And finally, one has that noble understanding that is liberating, leading those who act accordingly to the complete overcoming of suffering; and one lives with this understanding among one’s companions in the holy life. These are the six ways of being considerate.
