Furthermore, kings and crown princes arbitrarily enact legal regulations that do not accord with the causes and conditions of the Buddha's teaching. These are causes and conditions that divide the Saṅgha. When supervisory officials manage the Saṅgha, controlling the monastic registers and harshly constraining them, the Buddhadharma will not endure long. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.107](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.107) - [Next: 2.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.109) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.2.108) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.19.45) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.2.108) · Pramāṇa
