The first also has two parts: first, explaining the five sections; second, explaining the eight causes. In the former, 'there is a dharma' brings up the teaching and its meaning in general: the dharma of the One Mind, two gates, and three greatnesses is precisely the essence of the dharma. 'Able to produce the root of faith in the Mahāyāna' distinguishes the function of the dharma, meaning: with respect to the gate of tathatā, faith in the principle is determinate; with respect to the gate of arising and ceasing, karmic functions are unceasing; with respect to the greatness of meaning, faith in the Three Jewels is indestructible. As for the 'root of faith,' entering the stage of abiding accomplishes the root. The root has two \[meanings\]: first, the meaning of being able to maintain, which is not losing one's own portion; second, the meaning of generating what follows, which is seeking upward with superior progress. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.9) - [Next: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.11) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849~en-mt.1.10) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.1.57) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1849.1.10) · Pramāṇa
