Riding this vow-power, wherever they are born, they never regress. If the mind becomes weary, they immediately recall their past vow-power to encourage themselves; their deeds do not follow personal sentiments; hence it says "all relying on vow-power." Moreover, it does not anticipate repayment of kindness, nor is it compassion of affectionate views; hence it is called "pure." As for "beginningless," identical-essence great compassion and nature-conforming great vows are inherently possessed in the nature itself, not something newly obtained separately. It is only according to delusion or awakening that they are generated or not generated; when generated, they are beginningless. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.151](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.151) - [Next: 2.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.153) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795~en-mt.2.152) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.152](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.152) · Pramāṇa
