Conclusion. On the treatise's "evil conditions": The five desires and the two vehicles. Regarding "regressing and losing": Losing the mind that was generated, not entering the stage of faith, and regressing to the stage of ordinary people; this is because of the five desires as evil conditions. Regarding "falling onto the stage of the two vehicles": This is because of the two vehicles as evil conditions. Therefore a sūtra says: "Among hundreds of thousands of people generating the bodhi-mind, perhaps one or two reach the fruit of Buddhahood; the rest all fall into the two vehicles." Another sūtra also says: "Bodhisattvas generating the great mind, fish roe, and the blossoms of the mango tree: in the time of the cause, these three things are many, but those that attain the fruit are very few." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.16.54) - [Next: 16.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.16.56) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.16.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.16.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.16.55) · Pramāṇa
