As for the word "etc.", he has ten points to prove that this is not the culmination of faith. Namely: 1. Because it speaks of severing the net of doubt, emerging from the stream of craving, and thereupon attaining an unshakeable and indestructible mind. For if one has not entered sageliness, how could one cross over doubt? If one were an ordinary person, how could one be indestructible? Only one who enters the seeing of the truths can cross over doubt, because faith is indestructible. 2. If one has not entered the bhūmis, one should not be able to constantly maintain the precepts. 3. It should not say that one is born into the Tathāgata's household. 4. An ordinary person cannot have bodily, verbal, and mental karma constantly free from fault. 5. One should not thereupon obtain a merit-dharmatā-kāya. 6. It should not say that one thereupon obtains the ten bhūmis and the ten sovereignties. 7. One should not thereupon obtain consecration and ascend the stage. 8. It should not say that one's body pervades empty space. 9. Why would a bodhisattva be complete with wisdom? 10. Having faith in the Mahāyāna is still easy, but being able to have faith in this teaching is doubly difficult; how could an ordinary dharma be more difficult than a sagely dharma? Therefore, we know that this chapter properly teaches abandoning the ordinary, progressing gradually even up to entering the Buddha-stage. Now, the commentary's text briefly cites his proofs, hence using the word "etc." This is one meaning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 35.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.35.22) - [Next: 35.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.35.24) - [Up: 35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.35) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.35.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.35.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.35.23) · Pramāṇa
