Manifesting identity with minor good is called "infant"; manifesting identity with having evil is called "illness practice." Identifying with good is to bestow joy; identifying with evil is to eradicate suffering. Hence these two functions derive from loving-kindness and compassion. Therefore, previously Jingxi said that function again points back to cause. For this reason, sometimes noble practice is taken as the cause of self-benefit and heavenly practice as the effect of self-benefit, while pure practice is converting others in the cause and infant and illness practices are converting others in the effect; thus, relying on loving-kindness and compassion, there are the two practices. That pure practice applies to both cause and effect has already been briefly clarified above. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.8.46) - [Next: 8.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.8.48) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779~en-mt.8.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.8.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.8.47) · Pramāṇa
