Accommodating suitability: this is \[the siddhānta\] for the person. The Treatise states, 'In a single matter, \[the Buddha\] may permit it or not permit it.' What is suitable is permitted; what is unsuitable is not permitted. For example, for a goldsmith the contemplation of breath-counting is suitable, and for a washerman the contemplation of impurity is suitable; this is suitability. If one expounds the four gates, whether phenomena or principle, and suitability generates goodness, this is called being permitted; if it generates unwholesomeness, it is not permitted. This is called the siddhānta for the person. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1.70) - [Next: 1.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1.72) - [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.1.71) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.1.71) · Pramāṇa
