English translation by Bhikkhu Candana.

Translation

Text

322. “Bhikkhus, while discussing a badly proclaimed teaching, the one expounding or relating it to others must exercise much caution and scrutiny while delivering his message, for that is not the responsibility of the recipient of that information, who is listening to what is being taught to him.

“And what is the reason for this?

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