Appending to these three trainings, what is appended is called auxiliary; because it assists the propagation of the Dharma, it is merely called "auxiliary." That all are called "appended" means they are not entirely the primary substance, but merely adjoining it. Furthermore, just as the first gate merely adduces ten \[items\] in accordance with what is essential, so the precepts are not yet exhaustive. The next gate merely speaks of cultivating and collecting one's mind, so concentration is also not yet exhaustive. The third resembles genuine perfect wisdom, yet wisdom is also not exhaustive. Why? If one genuinely establishes the perfect \[teaching\], the precepts must refer to the Brahmajāla, which is in every way complete; if it is perfect concentration and wisdom, the ten dharmas must form the vehicle; in fully distinguishing the various objects, for the moment it merely explains the eighteen kinds of emptiness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9.38) - [Next: 9.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9.40) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719~en-mt.9.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.9.39) · Pramāṇa
