Because of revering the Buddha, one attains immeasurable merit and attains liberation. Because of not revering the Buddha, one loses this benefit. Question: Why does it explain merit and liberation, but not explain the sixth \[heading\], the matter of not benefiting sentient beings? Answer: Revering the Buddha to attain merit and attain liberation is itself the matter of benefiting sentient beings. Furthermore, the matter of not benefiting sentient beings is a general statement, as each of the above lines contains this statement, so it is not explained separately. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.34) - [Next: 3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.36) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818~en-mt.3.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.35) · Pramāṇa
