Because the mind is calm, the wholesome roots from past lives will naturally unfold. If there are no wholesome ones, then various unwholesome phenomena will arise. Therefore, a sūtra says: "First move them with concentration, and later eradicate \[defilements\] with wisdom." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.3.45) - [Next: 3.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.3.47) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.3.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.3.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.3.46) · Pramāṇa
