At that time, in the deep of midnight, all was silent and without a sound, and he briefly preached the essentials of the Dharma for the disciples: 'You monks, after my passing, should honor, treasure, and respect the Prātimokṣa. You should know that this is your great teacher; it is no different than if I were to abide in the world' (Sūtra of the Buddha's Bequeathed Teaching). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.4.30) - [Next: 4.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.4.32) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.4.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.4.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.4.31) · Pramāṇa
