Shame means not committing evil oneself; remorse means not instructing others to commit it. Shame means feeling inwardly ashamed; remorse means disclosing it to others. Shame means being ashamed before humans; remorse means being ashamed before the heavens. These are called shame and remorse. Because one has shame and remorse, one is able to revere parents, teachers, elders, and all clerics, laypeople, humans, and non-humans; one is then able to venerate the Three Jewels and eliminate all evil karma." - [Previous: 23.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.23.6) - [Next: 23.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.23.8) - [Up: 23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.23) ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.23.7) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.23.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.23.7) · Pramāṇa
