From then on, documents and records gradually expanded; former worthies and past sages all authored classical canons. Deferrals of the throne and armed conflicts were fully laid out in seal-script registers. Thus the scribe of the left recorded events and the scribe of the right recorded speeches; with straight brushes and forthright words, there was nothing falsified or fabricated. Both the 'Treatise on Foreign Countries' in the \*Book of Wei\* and Huangfu Mi's \*Biographies of High-Minded Scholars\* state: 'The sūtra of the śramaṇa Buddha was composed by Laozi.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.124) - [Next: 6.126](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.126) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110~en-mt.6.125) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [廣弘明集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.13.147) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.125](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2110.6.125) · Pramāṇa
