Its nature is to first decide upon that, and later alter it”: For example, an intact and solid vessel, if it subsequently encounters conditions that pierce a hole in it, is fit for nothing. This mind is also like this: at first it receives and holds much, but later it gradually leaks. Or when first generating the mind \[for enlightenment\] and receiving the precepts, it is complete and flawless, but before long it gradually gives rise to outflows of dharmas, identical to a ruined vessel where the water of Dharma does not stay. All such instances are called the hole-like mind. Therefore practitioners should always ensure that whatever matters they undertake have a beginning and an end. Moreover, knowing that its nature changes often and can most severely obstruct the firm bodhicitta is its antidote. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.2.86) - [Next: 2.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.2.88) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796~en-mt.2.87) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.2.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1796.2.87) · Pramāṇa
