The Ninth.

N: Remark: This is an example of very coarse shamelessness and fear
of blame. We read that the monk sees danger in the slightest fault,
and the Vinaya helps the monk to see this danger.
Shame and fear of blame can become more refined as there is more
understanding of the cittas that motivate action, speech and thought.
In that way one can be aware even of a slight thought of desire or
aversion. There can be more understanding of what akusala citta is
and what kusala citta.
