Why? From beginning to end, the shared teaching does not clarify contemplating the eternal; how could it destroy ignorance in the middle? In the distinctive teaching, from the initial mind one knows the eternal, and the first stage is already able to destroy ignorance; how could it only begin destroying ignorance at the eighth stage? This is merely the distinctive \[teaching\] intercepting the shared \[teaching's\] intent. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.185](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.4.185) - [Next: 4.187](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.4.187) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.4.186) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.4.186](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.4.186) · Pramāṇa
