In this there are two parts: first, pointing to the matter and making a general presentation; later, specifically revealing it in terms of conditions. This is the first part. It means that the activities arising from the great compassion and vast vows of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas manifest responsively in multiple ways; merely participating in seeing and hearing them, there is none who does not receive benefit. Therefore, this is generating the power of external conditions. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.50) - [Next: 4.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.52) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814~en-mt.4.51) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論略述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.29) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.51) · Pramāṇa
