The empowerment of the accompanying Buddhas is solely the cause of concentration; hence the causes of empowerment are short by one, but completing the preceding attainment of concentration still amounts to four causes. Therefore, it was said above: 'praising his attainment of concentration,' revealing that there is a cause of empowerment. Therein are three parts: first, directly clarifying it; second, from 'Therefore at the third assembly' downward, citing parallels to establish it; and third, from 'Therefore it is impermissible' downward, concluding by rebuking the ancient masters. The first text is understandable. In the second part, wherever 'further' or 'also' is spoken, they are both senses of repetition. When there is already one above, only then does one say 'further' below. If the initial accompanying Buddhas are the characteristic of empowerment and the host Buddha's original vow is initially the cause of empowerment, how could one say 'further'? The character 'also' is the same as this. One clearly knows that the accompanying empowerment is already a cause of concentration; the three below are also causes of concentration; hence it merely says 'further'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 52.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.52.63) - [Next: 52.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.52.65) - [Up: 52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.52) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.52.64) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.52.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.52.64) · Pramāṇa
