The retributive cause induces the bodies of humans and gods. Because of the habituation cause, one encounters buddhas and bodhisattvas; upon hearing the Mahāyāna taught, one gives rise to a single thought of faith without apprehension. This faith without apprehension is the seed of the Buddha path; relying on the prior \[state\] with apprehension, one generates the subsequent \[state\] without apprehension. Therefore, the \*Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa\* says: 'That which involves apprehension is the initial gate to that without apprehension.' Hence it is called a distant condition. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.119) - [Next: 4.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.121) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721~en-mt.4.120) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.4.120) · Pramāṇa
