As it is with the external form, so it is with the internal mind. Without loving-kindness and compassion, one does not enter the lecture hall; without cultivating gentle forbearance, one lacks the Dharma robes; if the mind lingers in existence, one does not ascend the high seat. Lacking these three virtues, how could one propagate the sūtra? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1.7) - [Next: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1.9) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.1.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1.8) · Pramāṇa
