This means that when there is the defilement of avidyā's thick perfuming, even though original awakening constantly initiates internal perfuming, because of avidyā's perfuming the \[internal\] perfuming lacks force. Even if one encounters the force of the external conditions of good friends, they still cannot cause one to attain the Way. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.26) - [Next: 2.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.28) - [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.2.27) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.132) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.27) · Pramāṇa
