Individually inviting those close to oneself is merely a partial gathering of the mundane; how could it accomplish a feast of merit? In particular, it also shows three points: 1. It harms the Buddha's teaching on the Saṅgha rota; 2. It loses one's own boundless roots of goodness; 3. It misleads sentient beings who constantly receive training. Therefore, it had to be instituted. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.6.38) - [Next: 6.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.6.40) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813~en-mt.6.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.6.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.6.39) · Pramāṇa
