As explained in the Commentary, there are ten sets of paired conditions: First, it is for the long endurance of the Dharma and for the benefit of sentient beings. Second, it is to reveal anew the holy teachings that have already been eclipsed, to double the flourishing of those that have not yet been eclipsed, and to enable those among sentient beings who possess gotras to transcend birth and death, while enabling those without gotra to escape the miserable destinies. Third, it is to abandon both nihilistic views and substantialist views. Fourth, it is to mature persons of the bodhisattva gotra so that, relying solely on the Great Teaching, they generate skillful means and wisdom throughout the texts, meanings, practices, and fruitions of all vehicles, sever hindrances, attain the fruit, and benefit both self and others; and also to cause those of the two vehicles and those without gotra to likewise rely on the Great Teaching so that each, in regard to the texts, meanings, practices, and fruitions of their own vehicle, generates wisdom to sever or subdue \[defilements\], attains the fruit of their own vehicle, and leaves behind the miserable destinies. Fifth, it is to generate faithful understanding in those who cling to false teachings and do not believe in the Mahāyāna, as well as in those who are confused by or slander the diverse intentions within the profound sūtras. Sixth, it is to gather and benefit both those who delight in concise treatises and those who delight in extensive ones. Seventh, it is to establish the correct treatise and refute the heterodox. Eighth, it is to clarify the existence and nonexistence of the three natures, as well as the four Dharma-gates of mundane reasoning and the realization of the ultimate truth. Ninth, it is to open the two rational gates of conventional adaptation and ultimate reality so that they may know that the teachings of the two baskets and the three baskets are not contradictory, and to open the four rational gates of causes and conditions, consciousness-only, signlessness, and tathatā so that there may be distinction in their cultivation of contemplative practice. Tenth, it is to show the distinctions of objects so that they may know the differences in substance, characteristics, and stages among all phenomena, and to show the distinctions of practice so that they may know the differences in expedients, foundations, and fruitions among the three vehicles. Various conditions of purpose such as these, which are stated in various ways across different sūtras and treatises, should all be known as the purpose of this śāstra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.1.3) - [Next: 1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.1.5) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.1.4) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽師地論釋](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.yogacaryabhumisastrakarika*zh-xuanzang.1.5) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.1.4) · Pramāṇa
