"Possessing the power of perfumed roots of virtue": this distinguishes the cause of practice. It means having the internal causal power of original awakening's perfuming, and the external condition of hearing from virtuous friends; it must rely on the power of roots of virtue cultivated in past lives. "Faith in karmic reward and retribution, etc.": next reveals what is practiced. Due to the aforementioned power of perfumed roots of virtue, one is able to believe in karmic retribution and generate two kinds of roots of virtue. Generating the ten virtues is the worldly root of virtue. Disliking saṃsāra and the like are the supramundane roots of virtue. "Encountering all buddhas, etc.": this clarifies the excellence of the practice, referring to cultivating the practice of the ten kinds of faith in accordance with conditions. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.123) - [Next: 2.125](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.125) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813~en-mt.2.124) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.6) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.124](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.124) · Pramāṇa
