佛祖統紀 40.30

40.30

The commentary says: The Buddha stated that among the ninety-six kinds of heterodox paths, only the Buddha's path is correct. Thus we know that the rest are all false doctrines, not even worth discussing. Since Mani is a false view, the imperial court should immediately have banned it. Yet now they permit them to practice it freely without imposing punishment, never considering that if any here become tainted by their practices, the transmission of falsity through falsity will suffice to bring confusion and corruption to the Buddha's Dharma. Alas, I do not know why the ruler and ministers of that time were so incapable of making the distinction!
