This is the first. Here, the characteristics of a good friend, the activities of a good friend, and drawing near to a good friend should be explained. The first two are extensively analyzed in the Yogācārabhūmi, fascicle forty-four. As for drawing near to a good friend, that text says: 'Through four characteristics one completely draws near to a good friend: 1. toward the good friend, whether sick or not sick, serving and attending at all times, constantly giving rise to affectionate respect and pure faith; 2. toward the good friend, inquiring respectfully at appropriate times, bowing, welcoming, joining palms, diligently cultivating harmonious and respectful actions as an offering; 3. toward the good friend, offering according to the Dharma robes, food and drink, bedding, and medicine for illness, and daily necessities at appropriate times; 4. toward the good friend, when properly relying on them, whether agreeing or disagreeing regarding the true meaning of the Dharma, following their sovereignty without being shaken, genuinely expressing a mind of reverence, visiting at appropriate times, respectfully serving, questioning, and receiving teachings.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.3.122) - [Next: 3.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.3.124) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788~en-mt.3.123) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [勸發菩提心集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.2.89) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.3.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.3.123) · Pramāṇa
