[98] But here, Cunda, a teacher is a Fully Awakened One (sammāsambuddha), and the Dhamma is well expounded, well proclaimed, emancipating (niyyānika), conducive to peace, proclaimed by a Fully Awakened One; yet a disciple in that Dhamma does not abide practicing in accordance with the Dhamma (dhammānudhammapaṭipanna), is not one practicing properly (sāmīcipaṭipanna), is not one conducting himself in conformity with the Dhamma (anudhammacārī), but proceeds having deviated from that Dhamma. He should be addressed thus: 'It is a loss for you, friend; it is ill-gained for you. For your teacher is a Fully Awakened One, and the Dhamma is well expounded, well proclaimed, emancipating, conducive to peace, proclaimed by a Fully Awakened One; yet you do not abide practicing in accordance with the Dhamma, you are not one practicing properly, you are not one conducting yourself in conformity with the Dhamma, but proceed having deviated from that Dhamma.' Thus indeed, Cunda, in that case the teacher is praiseworthy, and the Dhamma too is praiseworthy in that case, but the disciple in that case is thus blameworthy. Whoever, Cunda, should speak thus to such a disciple: 'Come, venerable one, practice according as the Dhamma has been taught and laid down by your teacher' — then the one who encourages, the one whom he encourages, and the one who, being encouraged, practices accordingly: all of them generate much merit. For what reason? Because so it is, Cunda, in a Dhamma and Discipline that is well expounded, well proclaimed, emancipating, conducive to peace, proclaimed by a Fully Awakened One.
