A mule having offspring dies; A petty person receiving offerings dies. Through destruction and loss that are unprofitable, The petty person gains renown; His white and pure qualities are completely lost, Falling away even from the summit dharma.” - [Previous: 2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614~en-mt.2.31) - [Next: 2.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614~en-mt.2.33) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614~en-mt.2) ## Linked texts (1) - [坐禪三昧經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614.2.32) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614~en-mt.2.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.614~en-mt.2.32) · Pramāṇa
