These are called the bodhisattva cultivating self-benefit and benefiting others in future lives. If, accompanied by joy and pleasure, he cultivates wholesome causes, this is then also called self-benefit in the present life. Ji says: The meaning here is that upon dying in the desire realm, one is reborn back in the desire realm or is born in the form realm; upon dying in the form realm, one is reborn back in the desire realm, and the physical embodiment and wealth obtained \[are the results\]. Furthermore, because cultivating wholesome causes accompanied by present sorrow and suffering yields wholesome fruits in future lives, it is self-benefit and benefiting others in another life. Next, the third section has two clauses explaining the bodhisattvas' self-benefit and benefiting others in both present and future lives: first, in the present life, accompanied by joy and pleasure, cultivating wholesome causes for future wealth and physical embodiment; second, in the present attaining the dhyānas and formless \[attainments\] that are not concentrations belonging to the part of deterioration. If one attains dhyānas and formless \[attainments\] belonging to the part of deterioration, future pleasure is uncertain; therefore it says 'not belonging to the part of deterioration.' Now it is explained that because the part of deterioration accords with afflictions, it is not called a benefit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.9.45) - [Next: 9.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.9.47) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.9.46) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [瑜伽師地論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.yogacarabhumi*zh-xuanzang.36.46) — Classical Chinese - [瑜伽師地論略纂](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.10.58) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.9.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.9.46) · Pramāṇa
