"The multitude of existing beings" refers to the previous ordinary beings, non-Buddhists, and Hīnayānists, each category being numerous; hence they are called "the multitude of existing beings." Lacking the eye of the True Dharma and not seeing the Buddha-nature, they are called "blind followers." "Racing" means rushing toward different roads, namely the deviant paths and narrow paths. Since they could not approach the endowed with the Way or be corrected by the Complete Vehicle, their delusions and errors grew daily deeper, and habit became second nature.

Having no cause by which to return, it says "none turn back." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1.48) - [Next: 1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1.50) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.1.49) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.1.49) · Pramāṇa
