Thus the Suiyuan wangsheng jing says: 'Among the sentient beings of this place, those who have faith and inclination are few, and those who practice heresy are many; their minds and intentions are unsettled.' Therefore, to make sentient beings focus their minds on a single place, it was singularly praised. Furthermore, if it were said that there are pure lands everywhere in the ten directions, the minds of sentient beings would become lax; if there is only one place, their minds will be earnest." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.61) - [Next: 1.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.63) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757~en-mt.1.62) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.62) · Pramāṇa
