Relying on vows, one urges on diligence to diligently cultivate manifold goods, which eliminates the third fault mentioned earlier of giving rise to indolence. "At all \[times and places\]...", etc., contrasts with the practices of śrāvakas; now, one is constantly vigorous. Śrāvakas do not \[…\] at times, which is to say they do not cultivate conjoining time and place, let alone giving rise to great practice conjoining time and place. "According to their own \[capacity\]...", etc., excludes ordinary persons' lost practice so as not to allow them to backslide. Ordinary persons' error is foolishness: not considering their own strength, they cultivate all at once and then stop. Now it shows that bodhisattvas are free from excessive faults, constantly cultivating according to their capacity. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.107](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.107) - [Next: 5.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.109) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814~en-mt.5.108) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論略述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.226) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.108) · Pramāṇa
