How much more so the unsurpassed, wondrous Way, which is not merely an embankment of gold or white jade! And greed and anger are not merely an ant's mound or a flaw. The essential thing lies in the rectitude and prudence of one's aspiration, the vigor of one's practice, the firmness of one's adherence, and the perfection of one's cultivation. Only then can one benefit oneself and benefit others." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.2) - [Next: 3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.4) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022~en-mt.3.3) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2022.3.3) · Pramāṇa
