Answer: The Great Scripture states: 'Because they possess benevolent grace, they are called humans.' The Laozi states: 'The sage is not benevolent; he treats the common people as straw dogs.' Thus we know that a human king practices benevolence without seeking repayment for his kindness. If he is a lord who turns his back on the Way, he is merely a human and not benevolent; if he is a lord who accords with the Way, he is both a human and benevolent. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.9) - [Next: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.11) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705~en-mt.1.10) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.10) · Pramāṇa
