Hello
In one of Ajahn Brahm’s talks I’ve heard him speak about Buddha’s words about 10 things we should consider before criticising/rebuking someone. Anyone knows sutta/suttas that speak of it?
Thank you for your time.

I suspected it would be in the AN Tens, and indeed there I found it, but it’s two times five, which also makes up ten:
AN10.44:2.1: “Mendicants, a mendicant who wants to accuse another should first check five things in themselves and establish five things in themselves.
Thanks Sabbamitta and Viveka, that is exactly what I was looking for.
If all people would consider these 10 things, there wouldn’t be much criticism in the world.
