In '\[the siddhānta\] for the person', evil is new and goodness is old; in 'the therapeutic \[siddhānta\]', evil is old and goodness is new. In '\[the siddhānta\] for the person', new evil is easily extinguished: when expounded to them, it ceases; their past goodness is profound, and it naturally unfolds. In 'the therapeutic \[siddhānta\]', old evil is hard to eliminate, and new goodness is weak; if one does not apply the practice of antidotes, the evil dharmas will not be extinguished. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1.65) - [Next: 1.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1.67) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.1.66) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1.66) · Pramāṇa
