【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Slander the teaching under the influence of a sinful companion
【Further, the Sutra Gathering All the Threads states that even though you clear away sins, you will need at least ten eons to attain the level of forbearance [second of the four levels of the path of preparation]: The youthful Manjusri asked, "O Bhagavan, if someone, under the influence of a sinful companion, were to do such a thing as abandon the teaching, how, Bhagavan, would this person be freed from that in this lifetime?" The Bhagavan replied, "*Manjusri, if you were to confess your fault three times a day for seven years, you would clear it away. Subsequent to this you would attain the level of forbearance in ten eons, at the least."】
This immediately substantiates with the sutra. This is the Manjushri Bodhisattva asking the Bhagavan. So then, the Bhagavan explains this to him, "Say there is a person who did things such as "abandon the teaching" (slander the teaching)." Note the really important fragment before that, "under the influence of a sinful companion." It has told us earlier that all the benefits will come from the excellent teacher. On the contrary, all the faults will come from sinful companions, sinful teachers. This is where you should pay attention! This did not say sinful teachers, nor did it say a rotten egg, but instead, "sinful companions." This is a good friend of yours! But this good friend does not have the correct view. However, he has a good relationship with you! This thing, he sympathizes with you and say, "So and so! You have worked so hard. The temple's rules are so unreasonable. They ask you to do these things!". I am sorry. You had better have your own views and be discernible, be discernible. If the rules of the temple are truly unreasonable, you should leave. If the rules of the temple are reasonable, then y ctou better stay away from the sinful companion. When you get together with him, you will suffer. This kind of suffering will be incredibly serious!

业果 : 近恶友而谤正法-1
【《摄研磨经》亦云：“世尊，设若有一，由近恶友增上力故，造作如此诽谤正法，世尊尔时如何能脱此罪。作是请已，世尊告妙吉祥童子云，曼殊室利，设七年中，一日三时于罪悔罪，后乃清净，其后至少须经十劫，始能得忍。”】
马上证明经上面的。这个是文殊菩萨问世尊，那么世尊就告诉他，说有一个人哪，他假定“诽谤正法”，前面一句话很重要哦，“由近恶友增上力故”。前面一开始告诉我们，一切的好处都从善知识来，反过来，一切的坏处是从恶友、恶知识。这个地方注意啊！他不讲恶知识，他不讲坏蛋，讲“恶友”，这是你的好朋友哦！但是这个好朋友，他没有正知见，欸，他还跟你满好啰！哎呀，这个东西呀，来同情你，说：“某人哪！你这 么辛苦，这个常住的规定真不合理，叫你做这些事情哦！”对不起，你那时候要有自己的知见去判别、判别。如果常住的确不如理，你应该离开，如果常住是如理的话，那个恶友你赶快远离。你碰着他一块的时候，有你亏吃的，这种亏吃起来是不得了地严重哦！
