3.53
"Do not say such things! Do not slander the World-Honoured One! Slandering the World-Honoured One is unwholesome; the World-Honoured One does not say such things. The World-Honoured One has spoken through countless means that engaging in sensual desire is a phenomenon that obstructs the Path. You should now abandon this matter. Do not be reproved by the saṃgha and commit a further offense." (If he conforms to their words, it is well. If he does not conform to their words, up to three times, it is as above. The formal substance of the jñapticaturtha-karman is also clarified as in the Vinaya. The procedure for admonishing and reproving a śrāmaṇera who asserts that sensual desire is not an obstructive phenomenon is identical to this without difference.)
