It has three parts: first, praising the sūtra as difficult to believe; next, the Buddha's wisdom as difficult to conceive; last, exhorting beings to generate the mind \[for bodhi\]. The first part also has two: this first praises the subtlety and wondrousness of the sūtra through having goodness to hear it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3.38) - [Next: 3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3.40) - [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.3.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1748.3.39) · Pramāṇa
