## 384] [Vyavahar Sutra (20) When the occasion of anger arises, practice remaining silent and not speaking in a heated manner. (21) Practice self-study, meditation, and Kayotsarga as needed. The Prashnavyakaran Sutra also provides the following information on this subject: A man who follows Brahmacharya should abandon these actions:
* **Activities that increase attachment to objects, attachment to loved ones, hatred, and delusion:** carelessness, laxity in conduct, massaging oneself with oil, bathing with oil, repeatedly washing the armpits, head, hands, feet, and face, massaging, pressing the feet, etc., foot massage, rubbing, massaging the whole body, applying oil, perfuming the body with fragrant powders, offering incense, adorning the body, making it beautiful, engaging in frivolous activities, grooming nails, hair, and clothes, laughing and joking, speaking in a way that is full of vices, listening to songs and musical instruments, watching the performances of actors, dancers, rope walkers, and wrestlers, and other similar activities that partially or completely destroy austerity, self-restraint, and Brahmacharya. A Brahmachari should abandon all such activities forever.
* **Activities that affect the inner self:** not bathing, not brushing teeth, wearing dirt or other impurities, observing silence, combing hair, forgiveness, control of senses, being naked or wearing minimal clothing, enduring hunger and thirst, having few possessions, enduring cold and heat, sleeping on a wooden bed or on the ground, going to the houses of householders for alms, and accepting or rejecting alms with equanimity, enduring honor, dishonor, and slander, and enduring the pain of bites and stings, acquiring wealth, etc., and affecting the inner self through austerity, fundamental virtues, and humility, which makes the vow of Brahmacharya very strong.
* **All young monks, whether they live in a community or alone, should be very careful about these things.** By living a life guided by these precautions, the possibility of the aforementioned negative situations arising is almost eliminated. The negative tendencies mentioned in the sutras corrupt the health and self-restraint of the monk, and their merit diminishes, leading to a life full of suffering. Therefore, one should practice pure Brahmacharya with all the precautions mentioned.
* **Prohibition of admitting someone from another group into the group:** 10.
