1 “These five dhammas, O bhikkhus, lead to the confusion and disappearance of the true Dhamma. Which five?

2 Here, O bhikkhus, the bhikkhus do not thoroughly learn the discourses, mixed prose and verse, expositions, verses, inspired utterances, quotations, birth stories, amazing accounts, and questions-and-answers. This, O bhikkhus, is the first dhamma that leads to the confusion and disappearance of the true Dhamma.

3 Furthermore, O bhikkhus, the bhikkhus do not teach the Dhamma to others in detail as they have heard it, as they have learned it. This, O bhikkhus, is the second dhamma that leads to the confusion and disappearance of the true Dhamma.

4 Furthermore, O bhikkhus, the bhikkhus do not cause others to recite the Dhamma in detail as they have heard it, as they have learned it. This, O bhikkhus, is the third dhamma that leads to the confusion and disappearance of the true Dhamma.

5 Furthermore, O bhikkhus, the bhikkhus do not recite the Dhamma in detail as they have heard it, as they have learned it. This, O bhikkhus, is the fourth dhamma that leads to the confusion and disappearance of the true Dhamma.

6 Furthermore, O bhikkhus, the bhikkhus do not deliberately think, ponder and mentally examine the Dhamma in detail as they have heard it, as they have learned it. This, O bhikkhus, is the fifth dhamma that leads to the confusion and disappearance of the true Dhamma.

7 These, O bhikkhus, are the five dhammas that lead to the confusion and disappearance of the true Dhamma.”
