Killing the life of sentient beings is the view of ordinary persons; killing the six bandits and afflictions is the view of doctrinal lecturers; killing buddhas and killing patriarchs is the view of great icchantikas. On the part of a patch-robed monk, what after all does one kill? Try to settle it and see!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17.10) - [Next: 17.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17.12) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.17.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.17.11) · Pramāṇa
