That is to say, the nature-virtues \[numerous as\] the sands of the Ganges are the greatness of characteristics; none are biased or false, hence called "correct"; all can be taken as standards and maintained, designated as "Dharma." Thus a later chapter of the sūtra says: "Ordinary beings lack awakening and understanding; the Buddha causes them to abide in the True Dharma. All phenomena have nowhere to abide; awakening to this, one sees one's own body." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.2.27) - [Next: 2.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.2.29) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.2.28) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.2.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.2.28) · Pramāṇa
