"Because of these two conditions": śrāvakas lack the above three things, whereas bodhisattvas possess the three things. Tanji says: "Because of these two conditions": first, because śrāvakas have no retinue; second, because bodhisattvas have many retinues. Sengzong says: The two causes and conditions are: first, being skilled in asking and answering, which brings benefit in the present; second, causing \[the Dharma\] to abide long, which brings benefit in the future. Huidan says: The two conditions are: first, being able to ask; second, being able to speak. Mingjun comments: The two conditions are: first, being able to cause the Dharma-jewel to abide long; second, benefiting and giving peace to sentient beings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8.19) - [Next: 8.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8.21) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.8.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8.20) · Pramāṇa
