Therefore, you should be diligent and energetic, just as a small stream of water flowing constantly can pierce stone.

This is called vigor. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.389.1.11) - [Next: 1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.389.1.13) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.389.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.389~en-mt.1.12) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [佛遺教經論疏節要](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1820.1.298) — Classical Chinese - [遺教經論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.sastra.buddhapascimavavadopadesa*zh-paramartha.1.42) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.389.1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.389.1.12) · Pramāṇa
