Unenlightened monks indebtedness to the laity
Upvote:2
This is covered in the Cūlaccharāsanghāta Sutta, this was preached to counter the Aggikkhandhopama Sutta, which was said to frighten many monks back to lay life , or to "disrobe". This is supposedly (link) said in the Manorathapūranī, the commentary by Buddhaghosa on the Aṅguttara-nikāya.
