3.345

The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says: When a senior elder does not study the precepts, nor does he praise the precepts, and when there are other bhikṣus who take delight in studying the precepts he cannot encourage and praise them in a timely manner. Seeing such faults in a senior elder, I therefore do not praise him; for I fear that other people will emulate him and suffer distress through the long night.
