When walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, all sentient beings who smell their meat-scent give rise to fear. For example, if a person approaches a lion, when people see him and smell the lion's scent, they also give rise to fear. Just as when a person eats garlic, the stench is repulsive; when others see him, smelling the stench, they turn away. Even seeing him from afar, they still do not wish to look, much less approach him. Those moving in water, on land, or in the air all flee and abandon him, all saying: "This person is our enemy." For this reason, a bodhisattva does not accustom himself to eating meat.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 88.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88.17) - [Next: 88.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88.19) - [Up: 88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.88.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88.18) · Pramāṇa
