A sūtra says: 'To see suffering, cut off accumulation, realize cessation, and cultivate the path is called papañca.' If one initiates delusion to cultivate practice, how could it ever tally with the source?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.22) - [Next: 2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.24) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017~en-mt.2.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.23) · Pramāṇa
