2.85

Kāśyapa said to the Buddha: If there is an elder who protects and maintains the prohibitive precepts, who inquires about and receives what he has not heard from a youth, how is it: should this person pay homage, or not? If he should pay homage, then he is not called a keeper of precepts. If a youth protects and maintains the prohibitive precepts, and inquires about and receives what he has not heard from elders who have broken the precepts, should he again pay homage, or not? If one who has left the household inquires about and receives what he has not heard from a householder, should he again pay homage, or not? However, one who has left the household should not pay homage and respect to a householder. Moreover, in the Buddha's Dharma, the youth and young should respect the senior and elderly, because these elders received the full precepts earlier and accomplished the deportment. Therefore, one should make offerings and pay respect.
