The Emperor asked, "When will there be great peace in the realm?" > Sengru replied, "Great peace has no outward sign. At present the four barbarian tribes do not invade each other, and the common people are not scattered. Though this is not supreme governance, it may be called modest prosperity. If Your Majesty seeks great peace elsewhere, it is beyond my capability." Retiring, he repeatedly submitted memorials requesting to be relieved of his duties, and went out to serve as Military Commissioner of Huainan. > Wansong says: He had already set a pattern and drawn a model. Therefore, in the rustic elder's family tradition, drumming on the ground and chanting songs, rites, music, culture, and refinement on the contrary become something artificial. > 'The price of rice in Luling' can be mocked as deep and profound. With the virtue of Shun and the benevolence of Yao, the pure atmosphere transforms naturally. In village songs and communal drinking, each finds their proper place. Under the white moon and fresh breeze, each rests content in their own lot. > Do you understand? As it is convenient, return to the hall! > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.102](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.1.102) - [Next: 1.104](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.1.104) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004~en-mt.1.103) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.1.103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.1.103) · Pramāṇa
