The commentary says: Because the Dharma relies on persons to be propagated, it is explained next. "Able to correctly…" and so on is the virtue that is the object of faith. From "constantly delighting…" downward, it shows the mind of aspiration and seeking. "Constantly delighting…" and so on is seeking those who are able to practice; seeking to learn and know is aspiring to practice it oneself. Furthermore, because of faith in the benefit to others, one constantly delights in drawing near to them; because of faith in self-benefit, one learns to practice in accordance with reality. Furthermore, because of faith in both benefits, one constantly draws near to them: constantly delighting in drawing near to them is seeking to learn how to practice in accordance with reality. Practicing according to the teaching is called practicing in accordance with reality; also, combining both benefits is called practicing in accordance with reality; the two practices conforming to the real is called practicing in accordance with reality. Seeking to learn this practice, one therefore draws near to the assembly of bodhisattvas, not the two vehicles. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.54) - [Next: 5.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.56) - [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.5.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.5.55) · Pramāṇa
