As for tasks: first, sitting in meditation; second, reciting the scriptures and Dharma; third, exhorting and converting in various affairs. If one fully carries out these three tasks, this conforms to the norm for a renunciant. If one does not practice them, one lives in vain and dies in vain, and there will be causes for suffering. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1470.1.17) - [Next: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1470.1.19) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1470.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1470~en-mt.1.18) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.23.29) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1470.1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1470.1.18) · Pramāṇa
