This means that, according to one's turn in rank, one's mind lacks reverent respect; exalting oneself and one's own virtue, one has no intent of looking up to a master. Ashamed to ask those below, one has nowhere to seek counsel; with no basis in the Dharma in one's mind, one merely bobs up and down like a pestle. What one performs in this lifetime has no object upon which the mind rests; treating life lightly and taking the Path cheaply, one labors in vain without benefit. Outwardly it appears like bowing, but inwardly arrogance and delusion increase; like a wooden mannequin, one's feelings lack earnest gravity: the hands do not reach the ground, and the five points \[of the body\] are not complete. This is the karma of arrogance, and is called bowing out of self-conceit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2.38) - [Next: 2.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2.40) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896~en-mt.2.39) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.20.63) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1896.2.39) · Pramāṇa
