1.38

The fifth is the precept on acting as a go-between. This is because bringing together saṃsāra causes a profound loss of correct mindfulness. Words, letters, messengers, and the like are all within the bounds of transgression. Whenever one is entrusted with a letter, one must inspect it before carrying it; if one does not inspect it, it is a duṣkṛta offence, as stated in the Vinaya.
