The preceding describes the superior name and excellent virtues without distinguishing physical forms; if one wishes to take refuge and venerate him, one should uphold his name, and for this reason he exhorts them to uphold it. The Mahāyānāvatāra-śāstra states, "The Dharma body is only one; the physical forms of response are many." Weighing sixty-two hundred million response \[bodies\] equates to a single Dharma body. Zhiyi says: "A person of the perfect \[teaching\] is only one; persons of the partial \[teachings\] are many." Weighing sixty-two hundred million partial bodhisattvas equates to a single perfect bodhisattva. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.112](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10.112) - [Next: 10.114](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10.114) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.10.113) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10.113](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.10.113) · Pramāṇa
