1.33

Therefore the Yeshu says: "Letting one corner hang in front to make the appearance of an elephant's trunk, people do not think of it as an offense, but having practiced it for long, they call it canonical. Why must it be like this? Afflictions and self-grasping have been constantly practiced from beginningless time—could they be the noble Dharma? If one reforms upon hearing what is right and follows admonition like flowing water, such a person is superior." (Text of the commentary.) With compassionate instruction such as this, how could one not reflect on it?
