5 ways a monk is not resilient

Five ways a monk is not resilient (and not worthy of respect):

1. There is the case where a monk, on seeing a sight with the eye, feels passion for a sight that incites passion and cannot center his mind. This is how a monk is not resilient to sights.

2. On hearing a sound with the ear, feels passion for a sound that incites passion and cannot center his mind.

3. On smelling an aroma with the nose, feels passion for an aroma that incites passion and cannot center his mind.

4. On tasting a flavor with the tongue, feels passion for a flavor that incites passion and cannot center his mind.

5. On touching a tactile sensation with the body, feels passion for a tactile sensation that incites passion and cannot center his mind.
