Furthermore, saying "causing the seeds to differ" is explained provisionally in terms of the metaphor: it is like grain seeds varying according to the richness or barrenness of the field, not that planting grain causes bean sprouts to grow. If explained in terms of the orange tree south of the Huai River turning into the bitter trifoliate orange north of it, there is also a slight sense of transforming the seed. However, this is also a variation within its broad category, not an absolute difference. If explained in terms of the doctrine: the seeds of consciousness do not differ; because of whether karma is good or evil, consciousness incurs suffering or bliss, which thereby causes the seeds to differ. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 70.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.70.58) - [Next: 70.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.70.60) - [Up: 70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.70) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.70.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.70.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.70.59) · Pramāṇa
