The Lord of Wu asked him, 'Confucius educated the common world, while Laozi and Zhuangzi were free and unconstrained in mountains and forests. What need is there to serve the Buddha?' Ze replied, 'Confucius and Laozi modeled themselves on Heaven and instituted practices, not daring to contravene Heaven; all the heavens revere and practice the Buddha's teaching, not daring to contravene the Buddha. Speaking from this perspective, there is truly no comparison.' The Lord of Wu said, 'When Buddhism entered China, why did it not reach the eastern regions?' Ze said, 'In the fourteenth year of the Yongming \[error for Yongping\] reign, the Daoists of the Five Sacred Peaks, Chu Shanxin, Fei Shucai, and others, competed in arts with the Western monks; Fei Shucai died of self-induced despair. From then until now it has been a hundred and seventy years; only after long years of war and disorder has it now arrived here.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 35.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35.61) - [Next: 35.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35.63) - [Up: 35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.35.62) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.35.62) · Pramāṇa
