The Chapter on Non-offense
150
“Mendicants, those mendicants who explain a non-offense as an offense are acting for the detriment and unhappiness of the people, against the people, for the harm, detriment, and suffering of gods and humans. They brim with much wickedness and make the true teaching disappear.”
