All conditioned dharmas are great burdens, yet because they can be used to dispel burdens, their retention is appropriate. It is like an infinite number of enemy bandits in a great city: someone within the city comes to surrender, and through this person one is able to defeat the enemy bandits; thus, although he is a bandit, he should still be supported. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.107](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.107) - [Next: 9.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.109) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.9.108) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.108) · Pramāṇa
