Objects of desires and cravings are all indulged through ritual, yet the canons of filial piety and respect are solely curtailed by the \[Buddhist\] law. They contravene virtue and violate natural order, without ever realizing it. It also says: Preserving one's bodily form and maintaining the ancestral sacrifices is the teaching of continuing the good; marring one's appearance and abandoning one's family name is the discipline of severing evil. What is to be valued in principle is the Dao; what is contemptible in affairs is worldly custom. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.6.24) - [Next: 6.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.6.26) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102~en-mt.6.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.6.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.6.25) · Pramāṇa
