Furthermore, there are five matters: unable to obtain things previously unobtained; unable to protect what has already been obtained; in whatever assembly one is present—whether an assembly of kṣatriyas, an assembly of brahmins, an assembly of householders, or an assembly of bhikṣus—hearing of it and having shame; within countless yojanas, śramaṇas and brahmins recount one's evils; and upon death, the precept-breaking evil person falls into evil destinies. Upholding the precepts has five merits (the opposite of the sentences above). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.3.115) - [Next: 3.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.3.117) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810~en-mt.3.116) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [四分律](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.other-vinayas.dharmaguptaka*zh-buddhayasas.59.40) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.3.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.3.116) · Pramāṇa
