One should ask them: is the power of this incantation the true Dharma or is it not the true Dharma? If it is the true Dharma, using it in an unlawful practice such as killing living beings for a sacrifice is unreasonable. If it is not the true Dharma, using an incantation to kill living beings and all being born in heaven is unreasonable. If you say that just as poison is subdued by an incantation and cannot cause harm, this is also like that, then can this incantation also remove the three poisons? If you say it can, no one has been heard to have attained the pacification of the poisons of greed, anger, and delusion. If it cannot, using an incantation to kill living beings and removing unrighteous karma is unreasonable. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.20) - [Next: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.22) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812~en-mt.1.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [瑜伽師地論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.yogacarabhumi*zh-xuanzang.7.52) — Classical Chinese - [顯揚聖教論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.prakaranaryavacasastra*zh-xuanzang.10.26) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2812.1.21) · Pramāṇa
