There are three points: first, their forms following the true companions; second, their practices transcending the dust of the world; third, encountering excellent conditions and firmly cultivating merit and wisdom. This is the first. Renouncing the position of a wheel-turning king is like a rich man shedding his sandals; going forth to leave home is like a poor man finding a treasure, because in vastness and independence they cast off the entanglement of nets. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.253](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.253) - [Next: 2.255](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.255) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.2.254) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.254](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.2.254) · Pramāṇa
