What one thing? Schism in the Sa\u1e45gha. When the Sa\u1e45gha is split, they argue, insult, block, and forsake each other. This doesn\u2019t inspire confidence in those without it, and it causes some with confidence to change their minds.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cA schismatic remains for the eon in a place of loss, in hell. Taking a stand against the teaching, favoring factions, they ruin their sanctuary. After causing schism in a harmonious Sa\u1e45gha, they burn in hell for an eon.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Schism in the Sa\u1e45gha","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":146}
