Mind arises and arises; mind perishes and perishes.'" It also states: "If one is separated from the initial resolve of the mind, then one will not accomplish the unsurpassed path. Therefore it is said: 'All merits abide in the initial mind.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 99.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99.3) - [Next: 99.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99.5) - [Up: 99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.99.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99.4) · Pramāṇa
