Saṃsāra is the anterior limit, and nirvāṇa is the posterior limit. Body, life, and wealth—these three belong to phenomenal affairs; by contemplating these three, as well as the mind capable of giving and the object of giving, the three wheels are right here emptiness, provisionality, and the middle; therefore, they can equal the three virtues of nirvāṇa. This is to attain the eternal fruit through the eternal cause. Otherwise, how could one attain the indestructible and eternal? Practicing giving in this way is called pāramitā. The three virtues are extremely profound, hence giving is vertically high; the three virtues are immeasurable, hence giving is horizontally broad. The capacity of these \[listeners\] delighted in brevity; therefore, the Tathāgata wonderfully expounded the single \[practice of\] giving, so that they would follow and practice all cultivations. One must also understand that, since it speaks of practicing giving to benefit beings after \[attaining\] the fruit, how could practitioners not hear it and immediately cultivate it? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.356](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.4.356) - [Next: 4.358](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.4.358) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786~en-mt.4.357) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.4.357](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.4.357) · Pramāṇa
