First, attaining a pure mind toward the Three Jewels is named faith. Relying on faith, one initiates practice; practice begins with leaving faults behind, hence next precepts are explained. Having abandoned evil, one next cultivates good practices; the good has merit and wisdom, and merit practice is easy to do, hence next giving is explained. Having cultivated merit, it is next appropriate to generate wisdom; wisdom comes from hearing the Dharma, hence next extensive learning is explained. Relying on hearing, one generates wisdom, so fifth and finally wisdom is explained. Such are the five wholesomes. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.12.39) - [Next: 12.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.12.41) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851~en-mt.12.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.12.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1851.12.40) · Pramāṇa
