Severing the affection of father and mother, relinquishing the etiquette of sovereign and minister, shaving the head and dying the robes, carrying the towel and holding the alms bowl. Walking the path that transcends the dust, climbing the steps to enter sagehood, clean and white as frost, pure as snow. Revered by dragons and spirits, yielded to by ghosts and apparitions, with single-minded devotion, repay the Buddha's deep kindness. Only then will the physical body given by parents receive benefit. How could one be permitted to associate with followers, run after companions, occupy oneself with brush and inkstone, and gallop through literary compositions? Petty pursuits of fame and profit, toil and bustle chasing after dust, paying no heed to the vinaya rules, breaking down dignified deportment? Exchanging one lifetime of ease for ten thousand kalpas of hardship—if one practices like this, in vain is one called a disciple of the Śākya. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1.166) - [Next: 1.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1.168) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a~en-mt.1.167) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1986a.1.167) · Pramāṇa
