From 'If a good son' onward is third, clarifying non-retrogression in stage and practice. In the distinctive \[teaching\], the six minds may still retrogress while the seventh mind does not; in the perfect \[teaching\], the mind of the first abode is immediately non-retrogressing. Hearing the merit of the lifespan aids from without, while perfectly harmonizing faith and understanding perfumes from within; therefore there is no retrogression. The Dapin says, 'There are bodhisattvas who retrogress and those who do not'; whether Māra is present or absent, all have this meaning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10.18) - [Next: 10.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10.20) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.10.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10.19) · Pramāṇa
