Which ten? “‘I have become casteless’: A person gone forth should often reflect on this. “‘My life is dependent on others’ … “‘My behavior should be different (from that of householders)’ … “‘Can I fault myself with regard to my virtue?’… “‘Can my observant fellows in the holy life, on close examination, fault me with regard to my virtue?’ … “‘I will grow different, separate from all that is dear & appealing to me’ … “‘I am the owner of actions *\[kamma\],* heir to actions, born of actions, related through actions, and have actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir’ … “‘What am I becoming as the days & nights fly past?’ … “‘Do I delight in an empty dwelling?’ … “‘Have I attained a superior human attainment, a truly noble distinction of knowledge & vision, such that—when my companions in the holy life question me in the last days of my life—I won’t feel abashed?’: A person gone forth should often reflect on this. “These are the ten things that a person gone forth should reflect on often.” See also: [SN 35:97](https://www.journal.ninthheaven.co/civilisation/trad-buddhism/sn-35-97/); [SN 55:40](https://www.journal.ninthheaven.co/civilisation/trad-buddhism/sn-55-40/); [AN 5:57](https://www.journal.ninthheaven.co/civilisation/trad-buddhism/an-5-57/); [AN 5:77—80](https://www.journal.ninthheaven.co/civilisation/trad-buddhism/an-5-77/); [AN 5:114](https://www.journal.ninthheaven.co/civilisation/trad-buddhism/an-5-114/) --- *Translated by Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu. © 2014 / rev. 2017 Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu — released under the [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/?ref=journal.ninthheaven.co) licence, for free distribution only.
