Arriving at the present Sage Emperor, compliance with established teachings has grown all the more exalted. Thus monastery towers gaze upon one another and pure abodes stand side by side. People know to admire goodness, and households understand how to seek blessings. We monks are humbled to be among living beings; how could we forget loyalty and filial piety? When the luminous edict was promulgated, all within the empire complied. We only fear that the upright brushes of historians will record that it transgressed the Buddha's teaching, and after myriad generations, it will defile the imperial breeze. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2108.6.32) - [Next: 6.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2108.6.34) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2108.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2108~en-mt.6.33) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [廣弘明集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.25.66) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2108.6.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2108.6.33) · Pramāṇa
