Which body is this? If it were the dharmakāya, it should be eternally abiding; if it were the responsive body, it should perish moment by moment. Why does it say, "Although it is not eternally abiding, it does not perish moment by moment"? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9.22) - [Next: 9.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9.24) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.9.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.9.23) · Pramāṇa
