(Concluding the above text: Were the laws of Gaoyao and the Penal Code of Lü not stern and harsh? Were Yao, Shun, the Duke of Zhou, and Confucius without morality and virtue? Yet they still could not hold accountable thieves and profligates, transform the ferocious and obstinate, or teach their own sons and brothers all to act with worthiness and filial piety.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.165](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.3.165) - [Next: 3.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.3.167) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.3.166) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.3.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.3.166) · Pramāṇa
