5.3

First, regarding the intent of the prohibition: That which all Buddhas take as their teacher is the Dharma. A bodhisattva ought in principle to respect persons and value the Dharma, extinguishing their own self to seek and request it. Yet, if they instead display arrogant posturing, holding persons and Dharma in contempt, it is an extreme deviation from the Path. Therefore, it must be prohibited.
