[42] "Venerable sir, how many roots of dispute (vivādamūla) are there?"
"There are ten roots of dispute, Upāli. What ten? Here, Upāli, bhikkhus explain non-Dhamma as Dhamma; they explain Dhamma as non-Dhamma; they explain what is not the Discipline (vinaya) as the Discipline; they explain the Discipline as not the Discipline; they explain what was not spoken and uttered by the Tathāgata as spoken and uttered by the Tathāgata; they explain what was spoken and uttered by the Tathāgata as not spoken and uttered by the Tathāgata; they explain what was not practised by the Tathāgata as practised by the Tathāgata; they explain what was practised by the Tathāgata as not practised by the Tathāgata; they explain what was not laid down by the Tathāgata as laid down by the Tathāgata; they explain what was laid down by the Tathāgata as not laid down by the Tathāgata. These, Upāli, are the ten roots of dispute."
