Abstract: People all need to learn Pariyatti with Saddhā (faith) and keep the excellent morality. As people do not study Pariyatti education with Saddhā (faith), demoralization happens among students that the intention of learning Pariyatti gets wrong. Even though there are not rare of Pariyatti teachers, they become to teach the willingness of Saddhā. As for the teachers, if they do not have strong Saddhā in Pariyatti education, it will destabilize the education. They must have not only Saddhā in education but also believe in their students. Nowadays, some of the students in Pariyatti education become weak in Saddhā because they do not do their study and spend time on materials by using a phone etc. In Myanmar, there are many monks and nuns in numbers, but only a few of them are genuinely doing Pariyatti education. Moreover, the students come to compare with their teachers when they become educated. People need to have pure will without any pride. In Mahar Gandaryon Sayadaw's ten disciplines of his monastery, he sets good-natured as the best discipline; it well noted that being good-natured is first. As for the students, they need to do education with the good purpose and keep good morality. Moreover, learners should maintain well-trained education and precepts with Saddhā (faith). Only if learners have strong Saddhā, practical education, and complete education, the Sāsanā will continue to last longer and longer than now.
