In principle, there is only completeness and no incompleteness. Formerly there was this incomplete Buddha, but now this incomplete Buddha does not exist; this means it existed formerly and is absent now, so the bodhisattva ought to demand the incomplete carriage. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.46) - [Next: 6.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.48) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.6.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.47) · Pramāṇa
