優婆塞戒經云。寧受惡戒一日中斷無量命根。終不畜養弊惡弟子。不能調伏。何以故。是惡律儀殃齊(去聲)自身。畜惡弟子。不能教誨。乃令無量人作惡。能謗無量善妙之法○菩薩善戒經云。度惡弟子。則破壞法故名魔弟子。計此罪愆得不慎之。
The Upāsaka-śīla Sūtra says: 'Better to accept an evil morality and cut off immeasurable life-roots in a single day than ever to keep and nourish vile and evil disciples whom one cannot tame. Why is this? The calamity of such evil moral discipline affects only one's own person; but keeping evil disciples whom one cannot instruct causes immeasurable people to do evil and can slander immeasurable wholesome, wondrous dharmas.' ○ The Bodhisattva-bhadra-śīla Sūtra says: 'Ordaining evil disciples destroys the Dharma; therefore they are called Māra's disciples. Considering this sin and fault, can one not be cautious?'
