The real is precisely the conventional; the conventional is precisely the real. It is like the wish-fulfilling jewel: the jewel is used as a metaphor for the real, and its function as a metaphor for the conventional. The jewel is the function, and the function is the jewel; non-dual yet dual, we merely distinguish the real and the conventional. With respect to this, there are also \[the meanings of\] according with sentiment, wisdom, and so on. Śāriputra said: 'The Buddha, with various causes, / metaphors, and skillful words, / his mind tranquil as the sea— / hearing him, the net of my doubts was severed.' Such is its meaning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.160) - [Next: 2.162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.162) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.2.161) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [妙法蓮華經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*zh-kumarajiva.2.5) — Classical Chinese - [添品妙法蓮華經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*zh-jnanagupta.2.5) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.2.161) · Pramāṇa
