If, after repenting, one commits them again, it is like the king's law where a first offense is pardoned, but committing it again is punished heavily. When first entering the bodhimaṇḍa, transgressions are easily extinguished; but if committed again, they are difficult to remove. Once one has vomited it up, how could one eat it again? In this way one overturns and shatters the mindset of constantly thinking of bad deeds. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.67) - [Next: 4.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.69) - [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.4.68) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.68) · Pramāṇa
