Some say: 'The Buddha was capable of teaching everything, but sentient beings were unable to receive it all. It is not that the Buddha was unable to teach it.' Some say: 'One should say that he knew everything, and simply say that he taught; one cannot say that he taught everything.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.15) - [Next: 6.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.17) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.6.16) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [薩婆多毘尼毘婆沙](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.sastra.sarvastivadavinayavibhasa*zh-t1440.1.7) — Classical Chinese - [ཐབས་མཁས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་སངས་རྒྱས་དྲིན་ལན་བསབ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.353.6.4) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.6.16) · Pramāṇa
