The life of a ferryman depends on his boat; if he loses his boat, he drowns. Whenever a person among the groves possesses no self-restraint and relies on external power to give himself weight, once he loses what he relied on, he cannot avoid the disasters of stumbling and drowning.” (\*Unofficial Records of Mount Lu\*) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1.10) - [Next: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1.12) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022~en-mt.1.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1.11) · Pramāṇa
