The Commentary states: "Is it not that their appearance and robes differ from the worldly, serving as a sign of the noble path? If one subjects them to slight and slander, the Triratna is completely ruined; therefore, though they have broken the precepts, they are still vessels of the Dharma-body. Though the prohibited offense is light, the karmic course of action is exceptionally grave." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.936](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.2.936) - [Next: 2.938](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.2.938) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805~en-mt.2.937) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.2.937](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.2.937) · Pramāṇa
