Because in the past they came from among them, they still lack reverence in the present, being much given to sleep, delusion, and the like; this serves as fine evidence.” The Dabeijing says: “When the Buddha in the past was practicing the bodhisattva path, whenever he saw the relics, stupas, or statues of the Three Jewels, his teachers and monks, parents, elders and virtuous friends, non-Buddhists, rṣis, śramaṇas, and brahmins, he never failed to bow deeply, behaving humbly, reverently, and deferentially. As a retribution for this, ever since he became a Buddha, mountains, forests, humans, and beasts have never failed to bow down and pay reverent homage to the Buddha.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.1.23) - [Next: 1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.1.25) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896~en-mt.1.24) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.1.22) — Classical Chinese - [四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.249) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.1.24) · Pramāṇa
