The beginning also takes up the preceding to ask. 'Because faith...', this explains the reason. Although the manifold practices are numerous, they all take faith as their root; thus, among the eleven wholesome factors and among the five stages, faith stands first in all cases. When the \*Avataṃsaka-sūtra\* calls it the mother of merit, it is this meaning. 'That is, overturning...', this concludes by matching the preceding line, meaning using the correct to overturn the deviant, and using faith to eliminate doubt; they directly confront each other." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.5.6) - [Next: 5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.5.8) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.5.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.5.7) · Pramāṇa
