Having neither the fear of saṃsāra nor lacking the joy of the unconditioned, they are indifferent and self-satisfied, with neither hope nor pursuit. Who among them would be willing to trouble themselves to take the Mahāyāna as their aspiration? Pṛthagjanas, sinking into the five destinies, are shrouded by afflictions; forward they have not the joy of the unconditioned, and backward they have the fear of saṃsāra. Along with this, the thought of self makes them exalt themselves, admiring only what is superior. Therefore they can set forth from defiling toil, focus their minds on the unexcelled, plant their roots in saṃsāra, and unfold the flowers of correct awakening. If one were not a pṛthagjana risking life to plunge into the swirling abyss and wandering freely through the ocean of dust, how could one attain this unexcelled treasure? For this reason, pṛthagjanas have the name of reciprocity, while the two vehicles suffer the shame of ruined faculties. \[Dao\]sheng says: The priceless jewel is formed by the ocean. The jewel of omniscient wisdom is also produced by afflictions; one must enter the ocean of afflictions to seek it, and only then obtain it. This single analogy clarifies the principle that not abandoning the fetters leads to turning back and entering. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.87) - [Next: 7.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.89) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.7.88) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.88) · Pramāṇa
