From 'At that time the poor son' down to 'passing through countries and towns' is the first \[sub-step\], explaining the circumstances by which the son was able to draw near to the father: because he wandered without ceasing, he finally was able to draw near to the father. The internal application is: because sentient beings cultivate without ceasing within the countries and towns of the scriptural teachings of the five precepts and ten virtues, they have the capacity to affect the Buddha to appear in the world. 'He thereupon arrived at the city where his father was halting': this is the second sub-step, directly explaining that the son draws near to the father. The internal application is that sentient beings right then have the capacity to affect the Buddha to preach the Dharma. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.5.57) - [Next: 5.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.5.59) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715~en-mt.5.58) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.5.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.5.58) · Pramāṇa
