There is no need to fear the Great and be unwilling to cultivate; for now, enter this city and do as you please, cultivating according to your strength, bringing an end to \[weariness\] and revealing the real intention. In secretly setting up the expedient method, the benefits of entering are two: first, attaining peace and happiness and putting all suffering to rest; second, facing the buddha-stage, after which one may gradually cultivate. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.16) - [Next: 8.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.18) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.8.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.17) · Pramāṇa
