There are two parts: first, the Buddha encourages cultivating and abandoning; second, Maitreya grasps and understands. The first has three parts: first, directly encouraging by means of principle; next, encouraging by citing the present teaching; last, encouraging by citing the extinction of the teaching. The first again has two parts: this first directly encourages cultivating and abandoning. 'To uprightly guard' means to rectify what is crooked and guard what is correct. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3.166) - [Next: 3.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3.168) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748~en-mt.3.167) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3.167) · Pramāṇa
