2.487

法苑云。今有淺學之人。自謂智出於眾。起大憍慢。放誕形容。𣣋滅一切。籠罩天地。箕踞於師長之前。叱吒於尊者之側。道本和合。恭順為僧。既心貌乖返。豈成寶也。慎之哉。

The Fayuan says: “Nowadays there are persons of shallow learning who claim their wisdom surpasses the multitude. They give rise to great arrogance, conduct themselves with wild unconstraint, look down on everything, and think they encompass heaven and earth. They sit cross-legged with outstretched legs before masters and elders, and shout and domineer at the side of venerable ones. The Way is rooted in harmony; deference and compliance constitute the Saṅgha. When mind and demeanor are contrary and perverse, how can they become a treasure? Beware of this!”
