Bhikkhus, there are two gatherings. What two? The gathering that thinks according to the Teaching and the gathering that does not think according to the Teaching. Bhikkhus, what is the gathering that does not think according to the Teaching? Bhikkhus, in a gathering the bhikkhus, have a dissent, righteous or uneighteous. As a result the bhikkhus of one party do not appease or talk with the other party for appeassement. Not favourable to each other do not settle it favourably. They hold on to the non appeasement and non favourism of each other tenaciously, saying this is the truth and all else is wrong. Bhikkhus, this is the gathering that does not think according to the Teaching.
