1"Bhikkhus, I do not praise the wrong practice of two kinds of people: a layperson and one gone forth (into homelessness). Whether it is a layperson or one gone forth who is practicing wrongly, because of wrong practice, they do not attain the true way, the Dhamma that is wholesome.[n.275] Ñāyaṁ dhammaṁ kusalaṁ. Mp: "The path together with insight." |
