四分律比丘戒本 1.p20

1.p20

If a monk, having no true knowledge, speak of himself in these words, “I have attained perfection (lit. the law above men), I have entered on the most excellent law of holy or sacred wisdom, I know Truth; I see Truth; and if that man at another time, whether asked or unasked, desiring absolution, shall speak thus: “Indeed I neither know nor see, and when I said I saw, and when I said I knew, it was but vain, wild and false language, in order to exclude the necessity of further advance, and to encourage my idle disposition.” This monk ought to be excluded and cut off.
