經律異相 43.5

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [43.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.43.5)

多作寶花　結步搖綺　廣積德香  
所生轉好　琦草芳華　不逆風熏  
近道聞教　德人遍香　雖曰是真  
不如戒香（出法句譬喻經第二卷）

> Make many jeweled flowers, / String dangling ornaments of silk; / Extensively accumulate the fragrance of virtue, / And what you are born into will become ever more splendid. / Rare herbs and fragrant blossoms / Do not send their fragrance against the wind; / Approaching the Way and hearing the teaching, / The fragrance of a virtuous person spreads everywhere. / Though those are called genuine, / They cannot compare to the fragrance of the precepts. (From the second fascicle of the Dharmapada Avadāna Sūtra)
