Some call it a pātra, some call it a pipīla, some call it a jvāla, some call it a vistha, some call it a vacana, and some call it a śarāva. However they know it, I also thus speak. Why is that? It’s so I’m not set apart from worldly people. > — Charles Patton, The Connected Discourses (selected sūtras) > Thus, monks, there’s a mundane rule of the world that I myself know and realize and that I discern, explain, and demonstrate for people. Knowing and seeing it, I say: ‘The world is blind, without eyes, and doesn’t know or see it.’ How am I like the world that’s blind, without eyes, and doesn’t know or see it? > — Charles Patton, The Connected Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 38.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra.38.4) - [Next: 38.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra.38.6) - [Up: 38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra.38) ## Translations (2) - [The Connected Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra~en-patton.38.p3) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra~en-mt.38.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra.38.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyuktagama*zh-gunabhadra.38.5) · Pramāṇa
