AN 3.107

Ruṇṇa sutta: Wailing

Ruṇṇasutta

Sambodhavagga

Song, dance, and laughter.

“Singing is regarded as wailing in the training of the Noble One. Dancing is regarded as madness. Too much laughter, showing the teeth, is regarded as childish. So break off singing and dancing; and when you’re appropriately pleased, it’s enough to simply smile.”
