Because the Buddha is accomplished relying on the Dharma, it is explained next. Among the four dharmas of teaching, principle, practice, and fruition, previously principle and fruition were clarified; this is having faith in practice. Since one must certainly believe through teaching before one has faith in these three, having faith in the teaching is also revealed herein. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.171](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.171) - [Next: 2.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.173) - [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.2.172) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.172) · Pramāṇa
