Timidity

Translator: Bhikkhu Sujato

“Mendicants, a mendicant with five qualities is overcome by timidity.

What five?

It’s when a mendicant is faithless, unethical, with little learning, lazy, and witless.

A mendicant with these five qualities is overcome by timidity.

A mendicant with five qualities is self-assured.

What five?

It’s when a mendicant is faithful, ethical, learned, energetic, and wise.

A mendicant with these five qualities is self-assured.”
