Saying "no," not answering questions. If asked about matters related to the Dharma, it is a downfall to not answer due to stinginess. Saying "guests do not possess," it is a downfall to not act as a field for accumulating merit due to arrogance when others are respectfully offering and honestly teaching the Dharma. Saying "do not accept gold, etc.," it is a downfall to not accept gold, silver, etc., even if offered by a patron, due to ill will. That is, if one fears attachment to wealth, or fears that the patron will later become stingy, or if it is offered to the Three Jewels, or if it seems that these things will harm sentient beings, there is no fault in accepting them. Saying "do not give to those who desire the Dharma," it is a downfall to not explain to those who want to ask about the Dharma due to ill will. That is, there is no fault in not explaining to those who do not have faith and have already declined.

There is no fault for those who do not want to correct themselves. Saying "do not study for the sake of others' faith," it is a downfall to not protect the subtle faults of the Hearers' Vehicle for the sake of others' faith and liking. The Blessed One said that Bodhisattvas, in order to protect the minds of others, to make those who do not have faith have faith, and to make those who already have faith more steadfast in their faith, should study as it appears in the Pratimoksha Sutra. Saying "small deeds for the sake of sentient beings," it is a downfall to not know how to benefit others like the Hearers' Vehicle, and only avoid subtle faults. It is a downfall to not do great deeds for the benefit of sentient beings. Saying "with compassion, there is no unwholesome," it means that of the ten unwholesome deeds, the three of the mind should not be done even in dreams. If it is for the benefit of sentient beings, there is no fault even if the seven of body and speech are done. If done by one who has gone forth, it is a defeat. Accepting wrong livelihood. It means that a Bodhisattva must always be endowed with virtue and have a correct livelihood, and it is a downfall to live without virtue and with deception. Leaping and frolicking, etc. It means that a Bodhisattva should be tame and peaceful, like a child, and it is a downfall to leap and frolic and play. Passing through samsara alone.
