1.69

佛告阿難。未來眾生。其有得是念佛三昧者。當教是人。密身口意。莫起邪見。莫生貢高。若起邪命及貢高法。當知此人是增上慢。破滅佛法。多使眾生起不善心。亂和合僧。顯異惑眾。是惡魔伴。如是惡人雖復念佛。失甘露味。此人生處以貢高故。身恒卑小生下賤家。貧窮諸衰無量惡業。以為嚴飾。如此種種眾多惡事。當自防護令永不生。

The Buddha told Ānanda: "If among future sentient beings there are those who attain this buddhānusmṛti-samādhi, one should teach such persons to guard body, speech, and mind, not to give rise to wrong views, and not to produce haughtiness. If they practice wrong livelihood and haughtiness, you should know that these persons are of supreme arrogance, destroying the Buddha-Dharma, causing many sentient beings to give rise to unwholesome minds, disrupting the harmonious Saṃgha, and showing bizarre wonders to delude the masses; they are companions of the evil Māra. Although such evil persons may still practice buddhānusmṛti, they lose the taste of the nectar [of Dharma]. Because of haughtiness, wherever such persons are reborn, their bodies will always be lowly and small, born into base and lowly families, adorned with poverty, all manner of decline, and immeasurable evil karma. Against such various numerous evils, one should guard oneself so that they never arise."
