5.53

I have heard the master say: 'Burning the body, arms, or fingers pertains only to renunciant bodhisattvas. Relinquishing the body, life, and wealth is alone called the true Dharma-offering.' These words appear in the two sūtras *Brahmajāla* and *Saddharmapuṇḍarīka*; however, they were both spoken by the Māra king and are not orthodox teachings.
