This is the first. "Cháng" (常) means constantly. "Měi" (每) means frequently or repeatedly; it is not a term for a single time. "Rù" (入) means to realize. "Nature of dharmas" refers to the tathatā of the selflessness of persons, because both realize it alike. If both the bodhisattvas and I can enter and realize the tathatā of selflessness, why did the Tathāgata save and liberate us solely by means of the Hinayāna? Alternatively, "nature" means essence, entering alike into the essence and category of the Buddha's Dharma. Some versions have cháng (嘗), meaning "once / having experienced." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.12) - [Next: 5.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.14) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.5.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.5.13) · Pramāṇa
