It is very difficult for us to have this human life! To have a human life and be ordained as a monk is even more difficult as it requires even more merits to have a true life of leisure and opportunity.
The Exhortation to Wholehearted Resolve says:
Those dwelling in the forest, desiring good qualities,
Should not scrutinize others’ faults.
They should not think,
“I am superior; I am the best”-Such arrogance is the root of all unruliness.
Do not despise inferior monks,
Or you will not achieve liberation for an eon.
Such is the way of this teaching.We should train ourselves to practice like the Precious Teacher [Drom-don-ba] and Nal-jor-ba-chen-bo, who, if they saw a mere scrap of yellow cloth on the path, would not step on it, but would dust it off and carry it to a clean place.
Lamrim Vol 1 P196
Consequently we must respect all kinds of sangha as they wore the saffron robe of the buddha. ????????????
