2.26
今行事者,都無思審,徑至佛前,加趺坐地者,右𮪭著地者,兩膝竝坐者,《經》中名為「駱駝坐」也。此竝身既慢惰,心亦從之,來欲請福,反收慢罪。既乖禮意,又增慢習,一成苦業,獸中報受,可不思哉?故《律》中請悔,或蹲或跪,文自解云:「跪者,謂尻(苦高反)不至地。」斯正量也。
Nowadays, practitioners give no thought or deliberation at all, but go straight before the Buddha and sit cross-legged on the ground, or sit with their right heel on the ground, or sit on both knees—this is called "camel sitting" in the sūtras. In all these cases, since the body is arrogant and lazy, the mind follows suit; coming to seek blessings, they instead incur the guilt of arrogance. Not only do they contravene the spirit of etiquette, but they also increase their habit of arrogance. Once this becomes a painful karma, its retribution will be received among beasts; can one not reflect on this? Therefore, in the Vinaya, when making requests and repenting, one either squats or kneels; the text itself explains: "Kneeling means the buttocks do not touch the ground." This is the correct standard.
