It explains that the nature of the faculties cannot be fixed; one can advance or regress. Explaining regression serves to admonish them, and explaining advancement serves to encourage them; this is called the section on encouragement and admonition. Sengzong says: From here below is the fourth \[section\], clarifying that because of the Tathāgata's power of knowing faculties, he can transform the inferior into the intermediate. Because faculties are not fixed, one can advance or regress, and the Tathāgata never abandons them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 63.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63.96) - [Next: 63.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63.98) - [Up: 63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.63.97) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.63.97) · Pramāṇa
