First, there is the affliction of injury and harm; second, there is the suffering of having the head shaved; third, there is the rebellion of being unfilial; fourth, there is the crime of severing one's lineage; fifth, regarding this living body, from having consciousness one only learns unfiliality. Why should I say so? When commanded not to kneel to one's parents, they immediately vie to obey it. If a son first becomes a śrāmaṇera, and his mother later becomes a bhikṣuṇī, she must kneel to her son.
