The monks merely raised the mountain-call (shanshu) and stood with folded hands off to one side. Yuchi Jingde, the Duke of E, and Liu Wenjing, General of the Jinwu Guard, submitted a memorial stating: "The monks have not yet attained sagehood; all are commoners. How can they make slight bows to princes and dukes, while parents conversely bow to them? How can this be tolerated?" The Emperor ordered that the relative merits of Confucianism and Buddhism be determined and codified in the court statutes. Once the deliberations were completed, they memorialized their opinion to the throne: it was not fitting that \[monks\] bow to superiors. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.11.4) - [Next: 11.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.11.6) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036~en-mt.11.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.11.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.11.5) · Pramāṇa
