Question: What is the difference between the comparison in this section and the comparison after removing doubt earlier? The Treatise itself explains: earlier, using the metaphor of the great trichiliocosm, it clarified that the merit is vast; now it speaks anew of immeasurable trichiliocosms, multiplying that earlier \[comparison\] many times over. The reason it multiplies the earlier \[merit\] is in order to gradually transform sentient beings and cause them to produce profound faith. Furthermore, the earlier resolution of doubt had not yet extinguished marks, so it was a lesser comparison; now, extinguishing marks, one attains great bodhi, and because the merit is superior, it is a greater comparison. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.77) - [Next: 1.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.79) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704~en-mt.1.78) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [金剛般若波羅蜜經論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.vajracchedika!vajracchedikaprajnaparamitasutrasastra*zh-bodhiruci.2.6) — Classical Chinese - [Fragment from Afghanistan (Bamiyan/Schøyen)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.vajracchedika*afghanistan.18) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.78) · Pramāṇa
