佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事經 2.199

2.199

佛言：「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 said: 'Maudgalyāyana! One should know that those who reflect upon and study the Vinaya are able to practice such a Vinaya.' The Buddha told Maudgalyāyana: 'After I enter extinction, if there are bhikṣus or bhikṣuṇīs who slander such a Vinaya, you should know that these persons are companions of Māra and not my disciples. People such as these, life after life, will fail in studying the path and will never escape the three realms. I now feel compassion for all these living beings.'
