"Master" and "guide" have the same meaning; the author mentions them repeatedly. If one studies the teachings and knows the Dharma, conducting the affair accomplishes benefit; hence it is said to be "truly easy". If one does not study and is benighted about the teachings, self and others are both harmed; hence it is said to be "truly difficult". The intention is: being a master is inherently easy, yet for them it turns out to be difficult. "Merely..." onward traces the source of arbitrary practice. Following refers to cleaving to the old; reforming means renewing. Although an affair has been transmitted from antiquity, it may contain errors or correctness; they merely cling to the old, hence it is said "without reflection". "True teaching" refers to the Vinaya. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.703](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.703) - [Next: 1.705](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.705) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805~en-mt.1.704) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.704](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1805.1.704) · Pramāṇa
