Bhikkhus, there are two gatherings. What two? The divided gathering and the united gathering. Bhikkhus, what is the divided gathering? Bhikkhus, in a gathering if the bhikkhus quarrel, fight and have a dispute and abide using their mouths as weapons to hurt each other, it is a divided gathering.

Bhikkhus, what is a united gathering? Bhikkhus, in a gathering if the bhikkhus are united, pleasing without a dispute, abide seeing eah other with loving eyes, it is a united gathering. Bhikkhus, these two are the gatherings and of the two the united gathering is noble.
