Because he keeps the precepts without breach, he is therefore born in heaven. Because he knows the sūtras and Dharma to be fundamentally empty, he is therefore devoid of sensual greed.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 23.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.23.52) - [Next: 23.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.23.54) - [Up: 23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.23) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.23.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.23.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.23.53) · Pramāṇa
