The Master said, with duan pronounced duan: 'Cutting down a single tree or killing a single beast out of season is unfilial.' Therefore, the noble person expands his mind of humaneness and love; when he cannot bear even to harm grasses, trees, birds, and beasts, how much less toward humans?). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.145) - [Next: 2.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.147) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2.146) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.146) · Pramāṇa
