320. “Bhikkhus, the one promoting a badly structured and poorly taught discipline or teaching while encouraging others in it, assures two things for both himself, the instigator of such evil guidance, and the one being instigated and encouraged, who goes about living and behaving according to that badly taught discipline and teaching: to be generating much wickedness and bringing to themselves nothing but evil and bad merit-making results.

“And what is the reason for this?

“Bhikkhus, it is because the teaching being taught and followed is itself wrong and badly proclaimed.”
