'Pleases their minds' means accommodating their minds so they are joyful and without sorrow. As for 'will', it is the activation of the mind, having that which it desires; hence one must also first be sincere in thought so that there is no opposition. Inquiring with a pleasant voice is the way to please their ears; warming them with a gentle expression is the way to please their eyes). - [Previous: 2.166](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2.166) - [Next: 2.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2.168) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2) ## Linked texts (1) - [折疑論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118.2.167) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2.167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2118~en-mt.2.167) · Pramāṇa
