AN.5.19. Tatiyahitasutta ("The Welfare of Neither")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants, a mendicant with five qualities is practicing neither for their own welfare, nor that of others. What five? It’s when a mendicant is not personally accomplished in ethics, immersion, wisdom, freedom, or the knowledge and vision of freedom. Nor do they encourage others in these qualities. A mendicant with these five qualities is practicing neither for their own welfare, nor that of others.”
