Therefore invoking the person's name of wisdom immediately uproots suffering. The dharma is a Dharma-gate; 'gate' means capable of passing through, passing through to the place of nirvāṇa's peace and joy: initially practicing this dharma is the cause for attaining joy, and later realizing this dharma is the fruit of attaining joy; therefore, in correspondence to this universal gate, its bestowing of joy is clarified. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1.43) - [Next: 1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1.45) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726~en-mt.1.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1726.1.44) · Pramāṇa
