If a kalyāṇamitra penetrates these five matters, he can navigate the world without distress.’ (Letter to the Venerable Xiang) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1.54) - [Next: 1.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1.56) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022~en-mt.1.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.1.55) · Pramāṇa
