It is for the sake of demolishing excessive miserliness that one speaks of the dharma of giving. One should know that other evils are also demolished thereby. It is for the sake of demolishing all of the various evils that there is a complete discussion of all six. Therefore, since some individuals practice each one singularly and others pursue a comprehensive practice, all six paaramitaas are discussed so as to universally address the needs of everyone. It is not the case that they are set forth for the sake of just one single type of person.
All practices are false and unreal.
In some cases, they are possessed of faults in the near term and in others, they are possessed of faults in the distant term. In the case of unwholesome dharmas, in the near term they are freighted with transgressive offenses. In the case of good dharmas, after a long time, when they have become transformed, one who is attached to them becomes liable to distressful suffering. In such a case, they involve transgressive offenses in the distant term. This is analogous to the case of fine food and bad food, both of which have been mixed with poison.
