The method for removing it is as stated in the Mahāyāna \[treatise\]: “It is like gold in a foul leather pouch: because one desires the gold, one must not discard the foul leather pouch. The practitioner is also like this: although the teacher may not be pure, one should still regard him as a Buddha.” This matter is fully clarified in the Mahāyāna \[treatise\] explaining Sadāprarudita seeking a good spiritual friend, and should be explained at length here. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.107](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.107) - [Next: 2.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.109) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.2.108) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [修習止觀坐禪法要](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915.1.51) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.108) · Pramāṇa
