Within this there are three: first, the intention to cultivate insight; second, discerning the characteristics of insight cultivated; third, concluding the scope of insight. This is the first. If one only cultivates calm, there are four faults: first, the fault of mind sinking, because resting conditions and being one-sidedly quiescent accords with the characteristic of delusion; second, the fault of giving rise to laxity, because resting the mind leads to abandoning other activities; third, not taking delight in savoring, because being quiescent leads to slighting wholesome deeds; fourth, the fault of not giving rise to great compassion, because not contemplating the realm of suffering leads to delighting only in one's own quiescence. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.218](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.218) - [Next: 2.220](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.220) - [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.2.219) — 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.2814.5.101) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.219](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.219) · Pramāṇa
