The meaning is: the preface section reveals the cause and reason for preaching the Dharma; the main section expounds the profound gateway of the original intention; the transmission section continues the distant fragrance for myriad kalpas. Secretly according with the Western Regions, it has been universally observed in past and present. In this sūtra, from "Thus \[have I heard\]" to "spread out the seat and sat down" is the preface section. From "At that time, the Elder..." below, up to "should view it thus" is the main section. From "When the Buddha had spoken this sūtra..." below, up to "believed, accepted, and practiced it" is the transmission section. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.166) - [Next: 2.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.168) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702~en-mt.2.167) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.2.167) · Pramāṇa
