AN 2.23 — Abhasita Sutta: What Was Not Said

translated from the Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

"Monks, these two slander the Tathagata. Which two? He who explains what was not said or spoken by the Tathagata as said or spoken by the Tathagata. And he who explains what was said or spoken by the Tathagata as not said or spoken by the Tathagata. These are two who slander the Tathagata."
