30.19

Furthermore, the Mahāyāna Mahāratnakūṭa-sūtra says: 'Just as a physician travels carrying medicines yet cannot cure his own illness, so it is with a person of wide learning who has the disease of defilements: though he has wide learning, he does not restrain his defilements, cannot benefit himself, and it is entirely useless. Just as a dead corpse may be adorned with gold necklaces, so too is one of wide learning who breaks the precepts, wears the Dharma robes, and receives offerings from others.'
