Bodhisattvas are compassionate, putting other beings first and themselves last; even if, during the stage of cause, they fail to sever deliberations, their non-outflow power is weak, and in terms of their original intent, they are also said not to have severed them. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.17) - [Next: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.19) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930~en-mt.1.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.18) · Pramāṇa
