23.30

Furthermore, in the Nirvāṇa Sūtra, the Buddha said: 'After my nirvāṇa, there will be śrāvaka disciples who are foolish, break the precepts, and delight in stirring up quarrels. Abandoning the twelvefold scriptures, they read and recite various non-Buddhist treatises, literary odes, and personal compositions; they accept and store all kinds of impure things, claiming that the Buddha permitted this. Such people trade fine sandalwood for tiles and wood; exchange gold for brass; exchange silver for pewter; exchange fine silk for coarse felt; and exchange nectar for lethal poison.'
