How much more so entering a tiny fire pit among humans to be able to hear the Dharma!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10.168) - [Next: 10.170](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10.170) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.10.169) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10.169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10.169) · Pramāṇa
