There are two objections. The first says: In the division based on deriving doctrinal meaning from text, it is called "the cause and result that are believed." Since the sūtra also contains the chapter "Vairocana," why is it that in the division based on the interrelation of questions and answers, it is merely named "the division of adducing the result to inspire aspiration and generate faith"? And according to its specific assembly, why is it merely named "the assembly expounding the Buddha's dependent result"? Therefore this replies: because it speaks predominantly of the result, as the causes are few. Just as a river with little water is also called "waterless," and milk with water is simply called "milk." In urging beings to have faith and aspiration, it is appropriate to adduce the result. The second objection says: Above it was said that one adduces both the dependent and primary results of the Buddha to urge beings to have faith and aspiration; why then, in accordance with the assembly, is it merely called "the assembly expounding the Buddha's dependent result"? Therefore this replies: it speaks predominantly of the dependent result and minimally of the primary result. It is also because the original intent lies in the dependent result, while the result of primary retribution only begins to be expounded from the second assembly onward. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 23.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.23.3) - [Next: 23.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.23.5) - [Up: 23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.23) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.23.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.23.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.23.4) · Pramāṇa
