searching Sutta on criticism / Right Speech

[mirco]

Dhamma Greetings Everyone,


I vaguely remember the content of a Sutta, but can't remember where to find it.

It's about criticism/feedback/RightSpeech.

The Buddha (or a main disciple) taught, that only positive feedback has to be given, even if a person asks for criticism or feedback on personal shortcomings. Only if a good friend really kind of begs for that, one should mention it, but in a very light and modest way.

Anyone remember that Sutta?


Regards,
Mirco

Hello micro,

There may be something here:

Dear Chris,

it seems, as if [B. Speech of a Sappurisa (Noble Person)] comes close to what I can remember.
I think, this is it and I only have a bad memory.

Although I still can't find the Sutta in the pali-canon. The source sais A.ii.77, but I can't find that.
Or I don't know how to look it up. The only thing I found by interpreting A. ii. 77 is this.

Thank you so far!

Kind Regards,
Mirco

The ATI site shows the PTS notation to be AN 4.73 here
