In the first part, there are four phrases: 1. The category of trading free persons; 2. Trading male and female slaves; 3. Regarding "six kinds of livestock," the Zhouli says that cattle, horses, dogs, sheep, pigs, and chickens constitute the six; in principle this truly applies to all animals, none of which may be traded. Here it simply says "vessels for corpses," which means coffins, outer coffins, hearses, and the like; in all cases it incurs an offense, because this is the livelihood of a caṇḍāla. Second, from "must not even \[do it oneself\]..." onward is the explicit prohibition. Neither oneself nor another should do it; but among the two benefits, a bodhisattva regards benefiting others as foremost, and therefore cites oneself to illustrate \[not doing it to\] others. Third, from "If one intentionally acts..." onward is the violation and adjudication of the offense. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.64) - [Next: 5.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.66) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813~en-mt.5.65) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.5.65) · Pramāṇa
