Katamaa ca, bhikkhave, samaa parisaa?
And what, monks, is a harmonious assembly?

Here, monks, in this type of assembly monks perform
righteous actions, and do not perform unrighteous
actions; they perform ethical actions, and do not
perform unethical actions; they are illustrious with
righteous actions, and not with unrighteous actions;
they are illustrious with ethical actions, and not
with unethical actions.

Indeed, monks, these are two types of assemblies.
