Wholesome actions and pleasant results are soft and gentle words. Evil actions and painful results are unyielding words. Praising the good and disparaging the evil is mixed explanation. \[Seng\]zhao says: How could holy transformation be constant? It merely responds according to things. Since this land is unyielding, he responds with unyielding teachings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.175) - [Next: 8.177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.177) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.8.176) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.176](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.8.176) · Pramāṇa
