The triple world is precisely sentient beings; hence we know that sentient beings and the Buddha are non-dual. How could there be the meaning of an agent of mindfulness and an object of mindfulness? Therefore, the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā states: 'Between saṃsāra and nirvāṇa there is not the slightest difference.' The meaning of sentient beings and the dharmakāya is also like this. This is precisely the grand purport of the sūtras and treatises; one must rely upon this in paying homage and being mindful. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1.98) - [Next: 1.100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1.100) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722~en-mt.1.99) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [法華義疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.1.140) — Classical Chinese - [妙法蓮華經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*zh-kumarajiva.5.59) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1722.1.99) · Pramāṇa
