集沙門不應拜俗等事 5.62

5.62

竊以。釋道二門俱承玄化。雖復緇黃有別。虔恭之志不殊。宜令拜跪。以申臣子之敬（彈曰。沙門迹超方外津梁家國。稱謂異於臣子拜敬。何預率賓）謹議。

We venture to consider: the two gates of Buddhism and Daoism both receive the mysterious transformation. Although the black robes and the yellow robes are different, their sincere devotion does not differ. They should be ordered to bow and kneel in order to express the reverence due from ministers and sons (Refutation: The tracks of śramaṇas transcend the realm, acting as a bridge for family and state; their titles differ from ministers and sons, so how could their reverence be included among those who come to submit?). Respectfully submitted.
