If he had only praised the Buddha Vehicle, sentient beings would not have been able to be delivered thereby; because they would long endure toil and suffering, they would thereupon turn back and lose it. The Buddha Path is long and distant because the duration of weariness is long; they would long endure toil and suffering because they feared the greatness of the practice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.24) - [Next: 8.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.26) - [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.8.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.8.25) · Pramāṇa
