At this time of day we should look, under a claim so comprehensive, for some statement of political duties, for allusions to the senate and the forum, to affairs national and international. It is not enough to reply that these questions of wider ethics had not arisen. The Saddhamma was promulgated, it is true, in the kingdoms of autocrats like Pasenadi of Kosala, and Bimbis\u0101ra and Aj\u0101tasattu of Magadha. But it was taught at the same time in the villages of the free clansmen of the S\u0101kiyan, Koliyan, Licchavi and other republics. And among these the whole duty of the layman might well have included some corporate ideals of citizenship. There is certainly in one or two of the foregoing dialogues enough to show that Gotama could have uttered a discourse on such a theme. Either he judged that his listeners were not ready for it, or that the occasion did not call for it. Or it maybe that his chroniclers, cut off from political interests, failed to preserve or edit such sayings. But possibly &#8216;layman&#8217; is susceptible, at least in our day, of a wider implication than&nbsp;<em>gih\u012b,<\/em>&nbsp;house-man. And hence &#8216;whole duty&#8217; were better modified as &#8216;whole domestic and social duty.&#8217;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Anyway, the Buddha&#8217;s doctrine of love and goodwill between man and man is here set forth in a domestic and social ethics with more comprehensive detail than elsewhere. In a Canon compiled by members of a religious order and largely concerned with the mental experiences and ideals of recluses, and with their outlook on the world, it is of great interest to find in it a Sutta entirely devoted to the outlook&nbsp;<a><strong>[169]<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;and relations of the layman on and to his surroundings. And the discourse was felt to possess this interest in the long past by Buddhaghosa, or by the tradition he handed on, or by both. In this Sutta, he writes, &#8216;nothing in the duties of housemen is left unmentioned. This Suttanta is called the Vinaya of the Houseman. Hence in one who practises what he has been taught in it, growth is to be looked for, and not decay.&#8217; And truly we may say even now of this Vinaya, or code of discipline, so fundamental are the human interests involved, so sane and wide is the wisdom that envisages them, that the utterances are as fresh and practically as binding to-day and here as they were then at R\u0101jagaha. &#8216;Happy would have been the village or the clan on the banks of the Ganges, where the people were full of the kindly spirit of fellow-feeling, the noble spirit of justice which breathes through these naive and simple sayings.&#8217;<sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/obo.genaud.net\/dhamma-vinaya\/pts\/dn\/dn.31.rhyt.pts.htm#n2\">2<\/a>]<\/sup>&nbsp;Not less happy would be the village, or the family on the banks of the Thames to-day, of which this could be said.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The object of the young Sig\u0101la&#8217;s open-air matins will seem unfamiliar to the readers who are more accustomed to the names of Vedic deities surviving in the allusions scattered throughout these dialogues \u2014 &#8220;to Brahm\u0101 and Praj\u0101pati, Indra and Soma, Varu\u1e47a and Is\u0101na.<sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/obo.genaud.net\/dhamma-vinaya\/pts\/dn\/dn.31.rhyt.pts.htm#n3\">3<\/a>]<\/sup>&nbsp;He was probably no brahmin, or we might have found him tending Agni&#8217;s perpetual fire, or bathing his conscience clean in some stream of symbolical efficacy. The Commentary does not help us. The historical sense had not developed when the great commentators wrote, and they are incurious as to beliefs and rites that were possibly no longer alive at least in their own environment. It is a noteworthy instance of this that Buddhaghosa is silent regarding the deities just named, when he is commenting on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/obo.genaud.net\/backmatter\/indexes\/sutta\/dn\/idx_digha_nikaya.htm#p13\">Tevijja-Suttanta,<\/a>&nbsp;as well as on the string of tremendous attributes ascribed to Great Brahm\u0101 in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/obo.genaud.net\/backmatter\/indexes\/sutta\/dn\/idx_digha_nikaya.htm#p11\">Kevaddha Suttanta<\/a>&nbsp;that comes before it. We may picture him as we would a mediaeval Christian exegetist. In his milieu, Indian or Singhalese, a certain cosmology had long been traditional and orthodox. Outside it there were now other cults, pantheistic, polytheistic, atheistic. He doubtless held that discussion on the gods of these or older alien cults was as superfluous as discussion on Baal or Jupiter might have seemed to his Christian colleague. The only deva of whom, in the Kevaddha-Suttanta he has anything to say is Sakka (concerning whom the text is silent). And Sakka was just the quasi-human governor in the nearest, lowest heaven after earth.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><a><strong>[170]<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;For Buddhaghosa the heavens were filled, not with gods in our sense of the word, but, at least as to those mentioned in that Sutta, with devas who are one in kind with ourselves, and who will in due time become once more men and women on earth, such as they have already been times without number, unless they, in their upward way, have attained to the Never-returner&#8217;s stage of advancement.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>But we, more curious than the Commentators, may find evidence in Brahmanic literature that the quarters or regions of the external world&nbsp;<em>(dis\u0101),<\/em>&nbsp;or mighty spirits inhabiting them were invoked for protection generally, and especially in battle, for luck and against snakes, etc. In the Atharva-veda (III, 26, 27) are two of such&nbsp;<em>rakshamantras<\/em>&nbsp;(guarding runes) or&nbsp;<em>parittas,<\/em>&nbsp;as they are called by Buddhists (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/obo.genaud.net\/backmatter\/indexes\/sutta\/dn\/idx_digha_nikaya.htm#p32\">the following Suttanta<\/a>).

To their jaws the invoker consigns his enemies.

And so much self-anointing or contact with water is enjoined that the lay celebrant may well have had both hair and garments wet as Sig\u0101la had.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Hence it may well be that there was nothing eccentric or even unusual in these orisons of the filially-minded &#8216;householder&#8217;s son,&#8217; as he is called. It is true that the Commentary speaks of his being asked, What are you doing? But the Master asks only, Why are you worshipping so the several quarters? If he was interrupted and shown a better channel for the sending forth of his votive gestures, this was because the hour had come when the Exalted One saw him. Saw him not then only, is the Comment, but at dawn already had the Teacher, surveying the world with the Buddha-vision, seen him so engaged and had decided that &#8216;this day will I&nbsp;<a><strong>[171]<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;discourse to Sig\u0101la on the layman&#8217;s Vinaya. That discourse will be of benefit to many folk. There must I go.&#8217; And so he passed by him going to R\u0101jagaha for alms. And when Sig\u0101la saw him standing near, &#8216;the Exalted One, like a great lotus expanding at the touch of the rays of the sun, opened his mouth and spoke.&#8217;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The conversion from the invoking of animistically conceived nature-forces to that loving service to fellow-beings which is the truest worship of Deity, was the more easily effected because Sig\u0101la&#8217;s own convictions were not involved. The Commentary expands his own words by relating that his parents were pious up\u0101sakas (lay followers), but could not persuade their son to accompany them to hear the good Doctrine. Nay, he would say, &#8216;I&#8217;ll have naught to do with Sama\u1e47as. Doing homage to them would make my back ache, my knees stiff. I should have to sit on the ground and soil and wear out my clothes. And when at the conversations with them, after so sitting, one gets to know them, one has to invite them and make them presents, and so one only loses by it.&#8217; Finally the father on his deathbed bethought him of a pious ruse. If he, an upasaka&#8217;s son, were daily to practise dis\u0101-worship, the Master or his disciples would be sure to see him and teach him better things. And since deathbed wishes are to be remembered, the son remembered and obeyed.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><em>Anukampanti.<\/em>&nbsp;Empathy; Spa.

It will be noticed that in summing up the latter, the parable of the six-quarter-worship is maintained throughout. As good and loving gods take compassion upon&nbsp;<em>(anukampanti)<\/em>&nbsp;their sincere devotees, who wait upon them with offerings material and spiritual, so in all the six relations adduced the seniors are represented functioning as little gods, the juniors or subordinates as devotees. The one exception may be in the case of friends equal in age and other respects. The word expressing the duty towards the six seniors:&nbsp;<em>paccupa\u1e6d\u1e6dh\u0101tabb\u0101<\/em>&nbsp;(the passive gerund) is rare,<sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/obo.genaud.net\/dhamma-vinaya\/pts\/dn\/dn.31.rhyt.pts.htm#n8\">8<\/a>]<\/sup>&nbsp;but its meaning is clearly that of attendance in tending. Etymologically it is to be re-as-sisted.&nbsp;<em>Anukampanti<\/em>&nbsp;is the type-word for the protecting tenderness of the stronger for the weaker, and means vibrating along-after. It thus in emotional force is even stronger than our compassion or sympathy. And because the pulsing emotion is other-regarding, a feeling-together what-&nbsp;<a><strong>[172]<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;ever the loved one feels, it is justifiable to render it often by love, thus taking the smaller concept up into the greater. Gotama frequently claims to feel this godlike emotion:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><em>Hitanukamp\u012b Sambuddho yad-a\u00f1\u00f1a\u1e45 anus\u0101sati<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Love and compassion doth th&#8217;Enlightened feel<br>Towards another when he teacheth him.<sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/obo.genaud.net\/dhamma-vinaya\/pts\/dn\/dn.31.rhyt.pts.htm#n9\">9<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In the attitude of parent to child love is at bottom a tender compassion, a vibrant care to protect. So wife-love is largely motherly. Parent, wife, friend, master, teacher and religieux all rank, in Gotama&#8217;s social Vinaya, and for that matter in that of India generally, as little gods, so great is the responsibility attaching to these six positions, so fine is the opportunity for exercising compassion, tender care, protection. In the six reciprocal aspects there is an element of childhood. The child under loving compassionate protection feels safe and confident as does the believing worshipper.

This is quite wrong. Considering the enormous importance attached in the autocratic states and religious Orders of Europe to obedience, it is most worthy of notice that obedience does not occur in Buddhist ethics. It is not mentioned in any one of the 227 rules of the Buddhist Order. It does not occur in any one of the clauses of this summary of the ethics of the Buddhist layman, and it does not enter into any one of the divisions of the Eightfold Path nor of the thirty-seven constituent qualities of Arahantship. Hence no member of the Buddhist order takes any vow of obedience; and the vows of a Buddhist layman ignore it. Has this been one of the reasons for the success of Buddhism?
