“Those mendicants who explain a light offense as a heavy offense … a heavy offense as a light offense … a grave offense as a minor offense … a minor offense as a grave offense … a curable offense as an incurable offense … an incurable offense as a curable offense … an offense requiring amends as an offense not requiring amends … an offense not requiring amends as an offense requiring amends are acting for the detriment and unhappiness of the people, against the people, for the harm, detriment, and suffering of gods and humans. Those mendicants brim with much wickedness and make the true teaching disappear.”
