Thoughts are mental factors. These monks had previously brought forth the great mind and practiced the six pāramitās; although in this life they had forgotten it, they still retained the causal habituation. One ought to have used the Mahāyāna for-persons \[approach\] to stimulate their past practices. Why did he use the Hīnayāna for-persons \[approach\] to preach his small dharma to them? It was like the error of Śāriputra in instructing his two disciples. The Mahāyāna is genuine, so it is compared to lapis lazuli; the Hīnayāna is not genuine, so it takes the metaphor of crystal, which is not a true jewel. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.11) - [Next: 5.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.13) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778~en-mt.5.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.12) · Pramāṇa
