“Mendicants, these four corrupt an assembly. What four? A monk, nun, layman, or laywoman who is unethical, of bad character. These are the four that corrupt an assembly.

Mendicants, these four grace an assembly. What four? A monk, nun, layman, or laywoman who is ethical, of good character. These are the four that grace an assembly.”
