If the method of repentance is accomplished, all are called pure; when the precepts are pure and obstacles are transformed, calming and contemplation easily become bright. If one commits a grave offense, one is a dead person in the Buddha-Dharma, and the Hīnayāna has no method of repentance. If one relies on the Mahāyāna, it allows repentance. This has been explained in the four kinds of samādhi above, and will be further clarified below. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.58) - [Next: 4.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.60) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.4.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.59) · Pramāṇa
