PÂKITTIYA DHAMMÂ.
49
Dangerous Qualities been declared by the Blessed One to be full of danger, and also to be sufficient to prevent him who cultivates them (from attaining to spiritual gifts).' And if that Sâmanera, when so addressed by the Bhikkhus, shall persist in that course, that Sâmanera should be addressed by the Bhikkhus thus: 'From this day forth, good Sâmanera, neither can that Blessed One be referred to 1 by you as your Teacher, nor can the privilege, which the other Sâmaneras enjoy, of sleeping in the same place with the Bhikkhus for two or three nights 2, any longer be yours!
