Summary

The Buddha warns his disciples about five future dangers that will arise among monks. These include monks who lack discipline, morality, and wisdom, leading others astray with false teachings. Some will disregard the true Dharma, distort the scriptures, and prefer eloquent but misleading words over genuine wisdom.
