Yet why entice them to generate the mind through non-retrogressing practice and display to them an auspicious prophecy? \[Dao\]sheng says: He clarifies that one should not hold on to practice. Because there is retrogression in generation, one requires non-retrogressing practice. Since there is neither generation nor retrogression, what use is practice? If one detests retrogression within generation and requires non-retrogressing practice, one still has not escaped retrogression, and this is not the means of non-retrogression. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.45) - [Next: 4.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.47) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.4.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.46) · Pramāṇa
