Answer 27:
The study of scriptures and teachings is indeed important. As a teacher guiding others, one must delve into the scriptures and truly understand them. If one does not understand the study of scriptures and teachings, they are an outsider to Buddhism. An outsider will inevitably fabricate and teach things they do not understand, leading practitioners astray and causing them to fall into the path of evil. This also applies to the spiritual practice sites established by such teachers, which will be subject to negative karma.
