1) out of desire, to have exceeding attachment to honor and gain and to praise oneself and disparage others,<br>
2) out of stinginess, to refrain from giving material things, Dharma teachings and wealth to others,<br>
3) out of anger, to harm others and be unforgiving when offered an apology,<br>
4) out of stupidity, to pretend that indolence is [[Dharma]] and to teach that to others.


The 46 minor infractions are to refrain from making offerings to the [[Three Jewels]] and so forth.
[[rnam mkhyen gyi ye shes]] - the omniscient wisdom [RY]

[[rnam pa thams cad mkhyen pa'i ye shes]] - the state of omniscient wisdom [RY]
*to deceive a venerable person,
*to cause someone to regret what is not regrettable,
*to disparage a sublime person, and
*to deceive sentient beings.
