'Abides in the characteristics of phenomena': the aforementioned conditioned \[phenomena\] are collectively named 'phenomena', because each and every one has the characteristic of holding its own rule. It means that if a bodhisattva, while contemplating existences, penetrates their real nature without destroying phenomena, they should not abide in characteristics. If they abide in characteristics, attachment will arise—just as mistaking a tree stump for a person, the principle is necessarily so. 'Possessing the characteristic of a self': self, person, knower, and viewer are four, as explained before. Non-Buddhists grasp a self and also call it a sattva, conceiving that all creation of karma and experiencing of fruits belong to a self. 'They abide in the world and are not a bodhisattva' means that abiding in the characteristics of self and phenomena is just being an ordinary fool; because they abide in the world, they are not a bodhisattva. Next is the second \[part\], inquiring into the reason. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2.46) - [Next: 2.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2.48) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709~en-mt.2.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2.47) · Pramāṇa
