Among the ten sūtras is the Mahāmegha-sūtra; the Mahāmegha-sūtra clarifies that buddha-nature is eternally abiding, etc.; thus we know Prajñā is superior and the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra is inferior. Second, Prajñā has not yet clarified that sentient beings possess buddha-nature, analogous to not yet clarifying that the two vehicles attain buddhahood; hence Prajñā is inferior and the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra is superior. Third, the two sūtras are not different: since Prajñā, like the Lotus, clarifies that the two vehicles attain buddhahood, it also equally clarifies buddha-nature; hence the two sūtras are equal. Furthermore, Prajñā teaches only bodhisattvas, and the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra does likewise; therefore they are not different. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.3.63) - [Next: 3.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.3.65) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.3.64) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.3.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.3.64) · Pramāṇa
