Second, "skillful in means regarding all who are to be tamed and what can tame": because of skillfully understanding faculties and dispositions, one has skillful means toward those who are to be tamed; and because of providing medicine according to illness, one has skillful means in that which can tame. Third, "endowed with great compassion", laboring for sentient beings over a long time without weariness. Fourth, material offerings are not regarded as supreme; one only rejoices when offerings of practice are undertaken. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.8) - [Next: 18.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.10) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.18.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.9) · Pramāṇa
