# 佛說五無返復經 1.14

佛說五無返復經 1.14

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.751b.1.14)

梵志聞之，心惑目瞑，不識東西：「我聞此國人孝順奉道、供事三尊，故從遠來欲得學問，未有善應，而見五無返復人。勞身苦心遠來至此，了無所益。」

> Hearing this, the brahmacārin became bewildered in mind and darkened in sight, unable to tell east from west: "I heard that the people of this country were filial, followed the Way, and made offerings to and served the Three Honoured Ones; therefore I came from afar wishing to study and learn. Yet before receiving any good response, I have met five people who lack any sense of mutual duty! Having toiled in body and suffered in mind to come from afar to this place, it has been utterly of no benefit."
