"Thus, those who would teach must be disciplined people. When they see instances of discipline not being followed, they can correct it, should correct it. They need to be well-versed in it."

When Sayadaw is about to come to Panditârama Hse Main Gon Forest Center, before he comes those responsible usually go all out to take care of things so that Sayadaw won't have any problems to point out. Nevertheless, after he arrives, he usually says things like, "This is missing here. That is needed there. It's not fitting to put that this way. Please get rid of that. Please correct this."

One time after Sayadaw had gone again, before very long U Âsabhâcâra from Nepal came to Panditârama Hse Main Gon Forest Center. When those responsible for the to Panditârama Hse Main Gon Forest Center told him about Sayadaw's meticulousness, he remarked, "Sayadaw can find and point out problems that most people don't even see. People as careful and meticulous as Sayadaw are rare, very rare.' He is working as the head of the Sâsana Yeiktha in Nepal to the best of his ability. It was evident the he had seen a lot of Sayadaw's pointing out things in Nepal, too. He was really grinning when he spoke the words above. From his manner, it was if he was saying, "That's just Sayadaw's style." It was clear that he was used to it. From his mouth came the words, "It is because he is this careful and meticulous that he has been this successful, too."
