The text is divided into three: indicating, explaining, and concluding. In the preceding "Chapter on the Four Reliances," in maintaining and upholding the Buddha's Dharma, one had to distinguish between upholding and violating \[precepts\]; here, in one's personal practice, one should apply equality. Furthermore, the previous part admonished the renunciants to observe their moral conduct; this part admonishes householders to cultivate signless generosity. "A different station of mindfulness" means being different from the two extremes and correctly contemplating the middle way. "Precept-holding non-Buddhists" refers not only to holding precepts, but also to attaining superior concentrations. The text below says: "Giving to a non-Buddhist who has cut off fetters surpasses \[giving to\] a precept-holding monk." A precept-holding monk merely subdues the evils of the desire realm, hence \[the non-Buddhist\] is said to surpass him by comparison. Although giving is of four types and all attain a pure retribution, it is because there is neither giving nor retribution that it is a pure retribution. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 22.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.22.7) - [Next: 22.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.22.9) - [Up: 22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.22) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767~en-mt.22.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.22.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.22.8) · Pramāṇa
