Now is the time of utmost sincerity; I shall now question you. You must answer according to what I ask. If it is not true, you must say it is not true; if it is true, say it is true. Why is this so? Because since beginningless time, by deceiving the noble and wise, \[sentient beings\] have sunk in saṃsāra. Now, desiring to renounce falsehood and realize the true Dharma, you are told to answer truthfully. Now I ask you about the impediments. If you do not answer truthfully, you receive \[the precepts\] entirely in vain. The Vinaya states: If a person has committed an impediment, even if seven Buddhas were to confer \[the precepts\] on him at the same time, he would still not obtain the precepts." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.407](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.407) - [Next: 1.409](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.409) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804~en-mt.1.408) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [四分律刪補隨機羯磨](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1808.1.330) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.408](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.408) · Pramāṇa
