On professions and living up to them. There are four ways of professing a
Doctrine:
- the first is unpleasant at the time and ripens to pain thereafter,
- the second is pleasant at the time but also ripens to pain,
- the third is unpleasant at the time but ripens to pleasure,
- while the fourth is pleasant both at the time and thereafter.
The Buddha then explains in detail these four classes of profession. M.i.309
