"Descending" (jianglin): the Rites of Zhou states: "Lin means the superior approaching the inferior." "The purpose of the sequence": because within the sequence of causes Candraprabha extended the invitation, the Buddha indicated that the one who can remove the poisonous afflictions is in the western direction; because he showed the direction and location, he urged them to pray and request; because of the prayer and request, the sage descended; because the sage descended, he bestowed the willow branch; because the willow branch was received, he expounded the dhāraṇī for them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.1) - [Next: 3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.3) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801~en-mt.3.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.2) · Pramāṇa
