"Faculties" refers to the seeds formed in the past, having superior, middling, and inferior. "Desires" refers to what they currently seek and rejoice in, having extensive, middling, and concise. "Conditions" refers to all sūtras and treatises, which can serve as augmenting conditions for sentient beings to awaken to the Way. One should know that the three faculties of superior, middling, and inferior each have different desires among the three kinds—extensive, middling, and concise; furthermore, they have distinct differences in having conditions or lacking conditions with the sūtras and treatises of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. Therefore, for the sentient beings of the three faculties who have the conditions, catering to their desire of liking conciseness, this treatise was composed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.1.44) - [Next: 1.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.1.46) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850~en-mt.1.45) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.1.45) · Pramāṇa
