佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事 1.389

1.389

佛告目連：「思學毘尼者，當知是人能修行如是毘尼。」佛告目連：「吾滅度後，若有比丘比丘尼誹謗如是毘尼者，當知是人是魔朋侶、非吾弟子。如是人輩，世世學道不成，不出三界。吾今憐愍諸眾生輩。」

The Buddha told Maudgalyāyana: 'One who contemplates and studies the Vinaya—know that such a person is able to practice such a Vinaya.' The Buddha told Maudgalyāyana: 'After my nirvāṇa, if there are monks or nuns who slander such a Vinaya, know that such people are companions of Māra and not my disciples. People such as these, life after life, will not accomplish the study of the path and will not escape the three realms. It is out of pity for all living beings that I speak now.'
