He placed his head and face on the ground and said to the Buddha: "Truly, since my birth I have never heard that the evil manners of women were like this! Men are misled, follow them, and fall into evil, but only because of ignorance do they fail to restrain their minds. From this day forward, I will repent for the rest of my life, take refuge in the Three Jewels, and never dare transgress again." Having paid homage to the Buddha, he rejoiced and withdrew. The \[secular\] texts say: "Confucius declared that petty people and women are difficult to nourish: if you draw close to them, they become insolent; if you keep them at a distance, they harbor resentment." Therefore the scriptures say that seductive women have eighty-four manners, with eight major manners that the wise detest: first, jealousy; second, unjustified anger; third, reviling and scolding; fourth, cursing; fifth, sorcerous suppression; sixth, stinginess and greed; seventh, love of ornamentation; eighth, harboring venom. These are the eight major manners. Therefore women possess many enchantments; may they abandon flattery and crookedness to seek the true Dharma, and quickly go forth from the household life to benefit themselves and benefit others. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.21.72) - [Next: 21.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.21.74) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.21.73) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.21.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.21.73) · Pramāṇa
