Why is this? When a bodhisattva cultivates dhyāna, they can fully possess the four preceding pāramitās, and the five below are also like this. For instance, when a bodhisattva gives rise to the mind \[to practice\] for the sake of cultivating dhyāna, they renounce all household matters, internal and external, not begrudging physical life, residing quietly and at ease without any stinginess; this is called great giving. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.1.40) - [Next: 1.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.1.42) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.1.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.1.41) · Pramāṇa
