Now, I will let them all go so that they can find their own water and grass. I take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Saṅgha. Permit me to become a layman in the correct teaching. From now on, I won’t kill, steal, engage in sex, lie, or drink alcohol for my whole life. Please let the Bhagavān and the great assembly accept my request!” The Bhagavān silently accepted it. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 23.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.23.75) - [Next: 23.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.23.77) - [Up: 23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.23) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.23.p150) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.23.76) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Kūṭadantasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.5.28.1-6) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.23.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.23.76) · Pramāṇa
