+Being civil often has an element of acting.  However, in the hinayana, you are
+behaving rather than acting.  Acting is trying to manifest yourself for the
+sake of display, whereas behaving is how you feel.  Acting is the way you
+dance, and behaving is the way you sneeze or hiccup.  You know if you are
+being genuine.  You are the first person who knows.  When you are acting, you
+are concerned with other people’s possible reactions; but when you are
+behaving, you are just behaving.  It’s like sitting on the toilet seat and
+doing your duty: nobody is watching.  It’s your private concern, so there is
+a quality of genuineness.  In the hinayana, you behave decently because the
+dharma is actually a part of you.  That is the meaning of taming yourself...
+Becoming a dharmic person means that in your everyday life from morning to
+morning, around the clock, you are not trying to kid anybody.
