Meeting Deva, he asked: 'What is your Buddha-nature like?' \[Deva\] replied: 'Giving alms, I seek merit and blessings; I do not understand Buddha-nature. You understand Buddha-nature; you should explain it to me.' The master said: 'If you wish to learn the Buddha Path, first eliminate self-conceit, give rise to reverence in your mind, and generate great shame and remorse; only then can you attain the Buddha-nature. How is it that now, without giving rise to reverence, you still desire to attain it?' Deva begged for mercy." Differing \[from the original words\], he said: "Due to one event, one's wisdom increases." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.318](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.318) - [Next: 2.320](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.320) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992~en-mt.2.319) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.319](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.319) · Pramāṇa
