Someone explained: "The text is termed 'thus' (ru), and the principle is termed 'correct' (shi)." Another said: "'Thus' (ru) clarifies that there is no difference; 'correct' (shi) discerns that there is no error." Now, what our own school practices is to say that the two words "Thus" (rushi) have no other distinct meaning; they merely serve to encompass the entire scripture collectively as a prefatory record for "have I heard", meaning that such a scripture as this, I heard from the Buddha's side. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.1.33) - [Next: 1.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.1.35) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715~en-mt.1.34) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.1.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1715.1.34) · Pramāṇa
