Not committing evil is called 'upholding the precepts' because when one does not commit evil, non-manifest \[action\] arises by itself and the nature of the precept is bright and pure; this is called 'upholding the precepts.' If one gives rise to evil actions, the precept coexists with evil and the precept is not bright and pure; because one has transgressed one's original vow, this is not called upholding the precepts. Not understanding the Buddha's intention, hearing it said 'not doing \[evil\],' they thought that no further active factor arises and that there is no non-manifest \[action\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 65.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.65.43) - [Next: 65.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.65.45) - [Up: 65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.65) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.65.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.65.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.65.44) · Pramāṇa
