The Emperor asked: "Is there a Buddha in the Western Heavens?" Yuanyi memorialized: "The present ruler of the living beings of the Eastern Lands—how is he different from Siddhārtha of the Western Heavens?" The Emperor asked Yuanyi: "Why are the disciples of the Daoist school few, while the disciples of the Tathāgata are many?" Yuanyi said: "The rich consider even a household of a thousand too few; the poor resent having even a single body." The Emperor asked Yuanyi: "Does the Venerable Monk still involve himself in worldly conditions?" He replied: "Not knowing the Dharma, one transgresses; once one knows the Dharma, there should be none." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2038.1.89) - [Next: 1.91](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2038.1.91) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2038.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2038~en-mt.1.90) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2038.1.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2038.1.90) · Pramāṇa
