The Buddha remained silent and did not reply, pitying that his delusion, blindness, madness, and folly had caused this. When the reviling ceased, \[the Buddha\] asked, saying: "If you treat someone with courtesy and that person does not accept it, to whom does that courtesy actually belong?" \[The person\] replied: "I take it back." \[The Buddha said:\] "Now you revile me, and I also do not accept it; you yourself take it back, and misfortune will fall upon your own person! Just as an echo answers a sound, and a shadow follows a form, in the end there is no escaping it. Be careful about committing evil." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.9) - [Next: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.11) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.10) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [註四十二章經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.66) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་དུམ་བུ་ཞེ་གཉིས་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.359a.1) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.10) · Pramāṇa
