"Bao" (保) means to guarantee, to believe, or to attest. "Ren" (任) means to assure, to set at ease, to permit, or to uphold. \[It means:\] "I can serve as a trusted guarantee and proof for you; setting you at ease, I can uphold it; my words can be trusted, and my words will never be false." "You need only adopt them, and do not give rise to doubts": the Dharma of the three vehicles is truly a fine Dharma; I guarantee it for you, so you need only adopt it and diligently redouble your vigor. It is like purchasing goods in the world: if no one guarantees them, one knows the goods are not genuine; if there is a guarantor, in buying them one knows they are superior goods. The three vehicles are also like this: I can guarantee them. Saṃsāra is not genuine, so I cannot guarantee it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.313](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.313) - [Next: 5.315](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.315) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.5.314) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.314](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.314) · Pramāṇa
