Sengliang notes: Giving is an initial practice; it requires driving oneself to be accomplished. The Record of Daohui says: Goodness when first practiced runs contrary to one's original evil nature, which is likened to hired labor; through diligent exertion one reaps a myriad-fold harvest, which is likened to farming. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.4.28) - [Next: 4.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.4.30) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.4.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.4.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.4.29) · Pramāṇa
