4.44

"It is necessary for causes and conditions to be complete for one to be able to be like this. How are they complete? It means that within one's own continuum there is the power of perfuming, and with the compassionate embrace and protection of the buddhas and bodhisattvas, one is then able to loathe the suffering of birth and death, believe in the existence of nirvāṇa, plant roots of goodness, and cultivate them to maturity. Because of this, one again encounters the buddhas and bodhisattvas who instruct, benefit, and gladden them, causing them to cultivate superior practices up to attaining buddhahood and entering nirvāṇa."
