Once in the time of the Buddha, there were six ordained monks called themselves ‘The Group of Six’. Behaving laxly in Dhamma-Discipline practice, they preferred to embarrass other monks and start a dispute. Often they held their other fellow monks up to ridicule. Sometimes, they made irresponsible and sarcastic remarks about other monastic members. Their behaviours reached the Lord Buddha. The Lord so gave them the forthright admonition. In the conclusion of the reproof, the Enlightened One added that ‘one with harsh speech brings about harm to oneself because being disliked by others even animals.’ Then, He furthered unveiled the story of Nandhiwisala in details as described above.
