Having heard it, the lady had sorrow and joy intermingled: 'My body is an impermanent body, yet today I am finally able to exchange it for a precious body; my life is presently decaying and perishing from thought to thought, constantly changing and unfixed, yet only today do I exchange it for a precious life; the body, life, and wealth that I possess are shared among many conditions and have no true master, yet today I am finally able to exchange them for precious wealth.' Because I contemplated such benefits of merit, I deeply gave rise to thoughts of reverence and making offerings toward Ānanda. I said: 'Venerable Ānanda! May you have no concern! The Tathāgata's secret teaching shall be practiced completely; even if I should lose body and life, I shall never backslide from it.' The Tathāgata then proclaimed the subtle eight dharmas of respect, which are difficult to transgress. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.53) - [Next: 5.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.55) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.5.54) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [ཐབས་མཁས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་སངས་རྒྱས་དྲིན་ལན་བསབ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.353.5.26) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.5.54) · Pramāṇa
