Answer: 'As stated in a sūtra: "If there is only practice, practice is isolated and leads nowhere; if there is only a vow, the vow is empty and leads nowhere. It requires vow and practice to support each other for whatever is undertaken to succeed." Therefore, in this treatise it speaks directly of making a vow without speaking of possessing practice; hence, that one does not attain rebirth immediately and that it merely serves as a cause for a distant rebirth is indeed true in its meaning.'
