Regarding the section on being free from characteristics and unattached, within what is done one is far removed from what is done and does not give rise to attachment. That is to say, although all Tathāgatas give rise to limitless and boundless great compassion to gather and transform all sentient beings \[numerous as\] the sands of the Ganges, yet among all Tathāgatas, there is not a single Buddha who gathers sentient beings. Why is this? Because they truly comprehend that all sentient beings and their own bodies are only the single tathatā and only the single dharmakāya, without increase or decrease and without difference. Just as the original text says: "Yet they also do not apprehend the characteristics of sentient beings. On what grounds is this? Because they truly know that all sentient beings and their own bodies are equal in tathatā." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6.12) - [Next: 6.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6.14) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668~en-mt.6.13) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.202) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6.13) · Pramāṇa
