It is also the lowest grade of etiquette in the Buddhist tradition. The Book of Documents states: Bowing like the bend of a chiming stone. If one holds the head high, straightens the body, and clasps the hands carelessly, it is exceedingly haughty. Therefore Confucius said: "If one performs ritual without reverence, how can I bear to look upon it?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.24) - [Next: 2.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.26) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127~en-mt.2.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2127.2.25) · Pramāṇa
