At that time the World-Honoured One addressed the bhikṣus: "Listen carefully and reflect well upon it! If a bhikṣu speaks using pseudo-phrasings that hinder the Dharma and Vinaya, this bhikṣu causes many people to fail to obtain benefit, to generate all kinds of painful karma, and thereby destroys the true Dharma. If a bhikṣu follows the correct phrasings without contravening the Dharma and Vinaya, such a bhikṣu benefits many people, keeps them from generating all kinds of painful karma, and causes the true Dharma to abide long. Therefore, bhikṣus, you should follow the correct phrasings, not allowing additions or omissions or contravening the Dharma and Vinaya. You should train in this way." The Buddha having spoken thus, the bhikṣus heard it, rejoiced, faithfully accepted, and upheld it.
