If one preaches the Dharma with grasping: first, it harms the dharmakāya of all Buddhas; second, it universally destroys the correct teaching. Why is this so? The physical body of saṃsāra takes craving and attachment as its root, while the dharmakāya of all Buddhas arises from non-abiding. Therefore, the fault of killing living beings is light, whereas the sin of preaching with grasping is heavy. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1.19) - [Next: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1.21) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.1.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.1.20) · Pramāṇa
