‘If with an evil mind you yourself slander the Three Jewels, falsely display closeness to them, deceitfully proclaim emptiness with your mouth while your conduct abides in existence; or if you see non-Buddhists, evil people, or bandits selling images of the Buddha, bodhisattvas, or parents, trafficking in sūtras and vinaya, or trafficking in monks and nuns, and the bodhisattva, having seen these things, does not apply skillful means to instruct and transform them and ransom them—if you do not ransom them, you commit an offense of minor defilement.’
