133. Parisā Sutta (Gatherings) Bhikkhus, there are these three types of gatherings. What three?

The gathering that engages in flattery and vain talk; the gathering that engages in critiquing, blaming, and interrogating others; and the gathering that engages only when there is a threat present.

Bhikkhus, these are the three types of gatherings.
