Why? Because it is through recitation by the mouth and recollection in the mind that beating the drum succeeds; without mind and mouth, there would be no means for it to succeed. Buddhānusmṛti is also like this: with faith in the mind and recitation by the mouth, one is born in the pure land and quickly realizes unexcelled bodhi; without mind and mouth, there would be no means to attain rebirth. Therefore, it is like beating a drum with the mouth." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2.52) - [Next: 2.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2.54) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966~en-mt.2.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1966.2.53) · Pramāṇa
