Constantly giving rise to a mind of loving-kindness toward all sentient beings; 2. Not destroying their practices toward all sentient beings—if one destroys them, one will ultimately not attain rebirth; 3. Deeply giving rise to a mind of compassion toward all sentient beings, without a mind of cruelty; 4. Generating a mind to protect the Dharma without sparing one's body and life; 5. Not giving rise to defamation against any Dharma; 6. Generating a resolute mind in forbearance, with a deep mind that is pure and does not crave gains and offerings; 7. Generating a mind aspiring for the knowledge of all aspects (sarvākārajñatā), constantly mindful of it day after day without cessation; 8. Giving rise to a mind of respect toward all sentient beings, eliminating arrogance and speaking with humility; 9. Not generating craving or attachment to worldly talk, keeping the mind close to awakening, with the intention for the Way giving rise deeply to causes and conditions of various wholesome roots; 10. Not giving rise to a clamorous and distracted mind, rightly minding the contemplation of the Buddha while eliminating all concepts. In accordance with this sūtra text, the ten thoughts are naturally different. Why then does one attain rebirth merely by reciting the name of Amitābha Buddha ten times? Is this not an error? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.5.31) - [Next: 5.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.5.33) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960~en-mt.5.32) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.5.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.5.32) · Pramāṇa
