Saying "multiple dispositions" means that it may either be divided into three or into two. In dividing into two, the designations established may also differ. Within this, there are three parts: first, dividing into three; second, the discerning classification below "the beginning and end are causes"; third, contrasting with the preceding provisional word below "moreover, the first section", because now dividing into two, "having long embraced" and "now seeing" are also discerning classifications. Among the three parts above, the second is conditions. That the beginning and end are causes is explained in terms of self-cultivation being the cause, and the Buddha's embrace being the condition. Now being able to see the Buddha is due to having been embraced in the past; embrace is the proximate cause. Since cause and condition are manifest as the stimulus, having been embraced in the past, he consequently responds. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.20.3) - [Next: 20.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.20.5) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.20) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.20.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.20.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.20.4) · Pramāṇa
