When a person practices the Way, if they are not deluded by passion and desire, not deceived by various heterodoxies, and advance vigorously without doubt, I guarantee that they will attain the Way." - [Previous: 1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.31) - [Next: 1.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.33) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1) ## Linked texts (1) - [四十二章經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.32) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784~en-mt.1.32) · Pramāṇa
