3.244

The Śrīmālādevī-sūtra says: 'If one does not know the eternally abiding, none of the three refuges are accomplished.' How is this resolved? Tracing back to the root, the initial practice of the three vehicles is not ignorant of the Dharma. If we take hearing wisdom in the four smṛtyupasthānas as the initial, this initially knows that the absolute truth is eternally abiding, not giving rise to the sixty-two views; with a mind free of attachment, the worthy and noble are accomplished. This explanation accords with the previous meaning.
