Dear Alex,

I believe your quotation is from very short suttas 140-149, i.e. Chapter 12 (Adhamma vaggo) of the first book (Ekaka Nipato) of the Anguttara Nikaya.

Metta,

Dear Bros in the sublime dhamma,
Please help me to check which verse or chapter in Anguttara Nikaya
is the following saying found?

In the anguttara nikaya, the Buddha said if a person says what is ¡°
are¡± dhamma . What is contrary to the dhamma .If a person says what
is are dhamma is dhamma, then he create much re-merit for himself
and then he harm a lots of humans and devas and he causes the
disappearance of the true dhamma. But if a person said what is are
dhamma is are dhamma and dare to criticize what is not dhamma as not
dhamma. Then he create much merit for himself and then he benefits a
lot of human and devas and he preserves the true dhamma. So because
of that it is the duty of monks who know to speak out what is not
dhamma and criticize them as not dhamma and to establish the true
dhamma. See anguttara nikaya text below. Someone told me it is in an
1.10 and 1.11. I could not find it. Perhaps I am new to the nikayas.

Could someone point me to the right verse or passage?

with metta,
Alex
