Next, answering: "The enterprise of cultivation is unceasing until the mind is continuously purified." "Continuous purification of the mind" means that one's effort does not halt; "maturing in this way" (meaning that what is unripened is made to ripen, and one shall attain siddhi). It may also be said: "He shall attain siddhi." As for "when does siddhi arise?", the sūtra says: "Birth after birth, life after life, until karma after karma is not eliminated, the fruit is caused to ripen, and at that time siddhi is accomplished." Karma arising in an instant is deposited in the body; for the practitioner who is able to recite, siddhi arises from the mind. These "lives after lives, births after births" are metaphorical expressions. In Sanskrit it is called saṃtāna, which is consciousness, meaning within the inner mind. Just as worldly sentient beings perform various karmas, and by vehicle of this karma they undergo their retributions—whether for one lifetime, or hundreds, thousands, or myriads of lifetimes, this karma is never lost, and when it ripens they undergo the retribution. Now answering that the arising of this siddhi is also like this: as the practitioner, in accordance with their superior, middling, or inferior aspirations, cultivates relying on the essential methods of the mantras, they attain the accomplishment of siddhi. Because this siddhi resides in the body, it is constantly present within the practitioner's body even birth after birth, life after life. Just like the fruit of karma: although it arises from conditions, it is ever empty and quiescent of itself, neither existent nor non-existent, and yet it neither perishes nor is destroyed. After this siddhi is accomplished, one undergoes the fruit birth after birth without failing or being destroyed. Taking the karma of siddhi as a vehicle and undergoing that fruit is called being born into the family of siddhi. Having already been born into the family of siddhi, up until achieving buddhahood, it will never be lost or destroyed; hence it says: "karma cannot be eliminated." The sūtra says "ripened": ripening is precisely the fruit. "To cause to ripen" has the meaning of enjoying the fruit. "One instant" refers to the duration of a single moment: that is, when the practitioner initially recites according to the Dharma, having attained the visionary realm, they are permitted to perform the rite of accomplishment, and within this single night they attain siddhi. Because it is performed in a single moment, it is lodged within the body for a long time and is never lost or destroyed. Just as placing poison in milk will still kill people even when it becomes ghee. Like a person who creates heavenly karma and receives its fruit: once they obtain the heavenly retribution, whatever they think of is immediately attained; without expending effort, it is accomplished according to their thought. This siddhi is also like this: in all lives, at the time when that reciter arises from the good, pure karma cultivated, next, that reciter attains siddhi arising from the mind; the pure karma and the mind that is produced are completely equal and non-distinct. The karma-produced mind and \[siddhi\] being equal, in that single moment siddhi is accomplished. Because it can constantly arise according to one's will, it is said to "arise according to the will." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.15.18) - [Next: 15.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.15.20) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796~en-mt.15.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.15.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.15.19) · Pramāṇa
