If one is at my left side, but their mind dwells on what is deviant, they will never attain the Way. Reality lies in practice; what benefit is there in being close without practicing, even by a ten-thousandth part?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.47) - [Next: 1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.49) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.48) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [註四十二章經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.284) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་དུམ་བུ་ཞེ་གཉིས་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.359a.1) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.48) · Pramāṇa
