集沙門不應拜俗等事 5.44

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [5.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2108.5.44)

竊以。親生膝下鞠養之愛惟深。一人至尊嚴敬之儀斯重。豈以身披緇服而不拜於君親（彈曰誠固以此而佛不令拜俗也）首掛黃冠。遂替子臣之禮。謹議。

> We venture to consider: Raised at the knees of one's parents, the love of nurturing is profoundly deep; for the One Man, the Supreme Honor, the decorum of stern reverence is weighty. How could it be that merely because one's body is draped in black robes, one does not bow to ruler and parents, (Critique: Indeed, it is precisely because of this, and the Buddha did not order them to bow to laypeople.) or, with a yellow crown upon one's head, one then sets aside the etiquette of a son and minister? Respectfully submitted.
