If they truly could uphold the Way, practice virtue, harbor loyalty, and render filial piety, and there being no Buddha then was sufficient for peace and tranquility, why then did successive generations raise armies and never cease weapons and armor, to the point that venom afflicted the common people and disaster reached the innocent, turning into an age like that of Yao, Shi, Murong, and the Yongjia turmoil? How could it be called a time of vast, uninhibited non-action? How completely erroneous is such a lapse of speech born of perverse views! > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.11.51) - [Next: 11.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.11.53) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.11.52) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.11.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.11.52) · Pramāṇa
