Through the power and effort of others, they deeply conceive love and joy toward great bodhi: this is called the second. Having past habituation in the wholesome dharmas associated with the Mahāyāna, now upon briefly seeing the Buddhas and bodhisattvas or briefly hearing their praise and extolment, they can swiftly arouse bodhicitta—how much more so if they witness prātihārya and hear the true Dharma: this is called the third. In the present life, they draw near to good persons, listen to the true Dharma, properly reflect, and cultivate various wholesome dharmas for a long time; through this prayoga, they arouse bodhicitta: this is called the fourth power. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1.20) - [Next: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1.22) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862~en-mt.1.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽師地論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.yogacarabhumi*zh-xuanzang.35.85) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.1.21) · Pramāṇa
