[354] "And how, Ānanda, is there the peril (upaddava) of one who lives the holy life (brahmacārī)? Here, Ānanda, a Tathāgata arises in the world, accomplished (arahaṃ), a perfectly self-awakened one (sammāsambuddho), perfect in true knowledge (vijjā) and conduct, a fortunate one, knower of the world, unsurpassed trainer of persons to be tamed, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed. He resorts to a secluded lodging: a forest, the root of a tree, a mountain, a ravine, a mountain cave, a charnel ground, a jungle thicket, an open space, a heap of straw. While he dwells thus withdrawn, brahmins and householders, townsfolk and country folk come flocking to him. When brahmins and householders, townsfolk and country folk have come flocking to him, he does not hanker after infatuation, does not fall into greed, does not revert to abundance. But, Ānanda, a disciple of that very Teacher, cultivating seclusion in emulation of that Teacher, resorts to a secluded lodging: a forest, the root of a tree, a mountain, a ravine, a mountain cave, a charnel ground, a jungle thicket, an open space, a heap of straw. While he dwells thus withdrawn, brahmins and householders, townsfolk and country folk come flocking to him. When brahmins and householders, townsfolk and country folk have come flocking to him, he hankers after infatuation, falls into greed, and reverts to abundance. This one, Ānanda, is called one living the holy life who is beset by the peril of one who lives the holy life. Evil, unwholesome states — defiling, conducive to renewed existence, distressful, ripening in suffering (dukkha), making for future birth (jāti), aging (jarā), and death (maraṇa) — have slain him. Thus indeed, Ānanda, there is the peril of one who lives the holy life.
Therein, Ānanda, this peril of one who lives the holy life is of more painful result and of more bitter result than both the peril of the teacher and the peril of the pupil; and moreover, it leads to the states of deprivation (vinipāta). Therefore, Ānanda, conduct yourselves toward me with friendliness, not with hostility. That will be for your welfare and happiness for a long time."
