From this time onward, either through the teaching power of Buddhas and bodhisattvas, or through great compassion, or because the true Dharma is about to be destroyed, they are capable of arousing the mind in order to protect the Dharma. Having aroused the mind, they enter the definitively determined group, never retreating, abiding in the Buddha-lineage, associated with excellent causes. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.5.47) - [Next: 5.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.5.49) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850~en-mt.5.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.5.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.5.48) · Pramāṇa
