2.136

述曰:日日誦持,明解為師。懈怠不明,此戒所制。言「即為自欺誑亦欺他人」者,自作後法,大衰損故,言自欺誑。授虛妄教,無利勤苦,言亦欺他。《菩薩地》云:詐現威儀,菩薩相似功德攝故。此雖妄語,詐作師義,犯輕垢罪。

Commentary: Reciting and upholding them daily, and understanding them clearly, one acts as a teacher. Being indolent and lacking clear understanding is prohibited by this precept. When it says 'this is self-deception as well as deceiving others', [it means that] one creates future downfalls for oneself and suffers great deterioration, hence it is called 'self-deception'; conferring false teachings causing futile toil and suffering without benefit, hence it is called 'deceiving others'. The Bodhisattvabhūmi says: 'Falsely displaying deportment is subsumed under a bodhisattva's counterfeit virtues.' Although this is lying, it constitutes acting falsely as a teacher, and thus incurs a duṣkṛta offense.
