Fearing they might defend themselves by arguing: "We take it in contrast to Prajñā as the second period, and therefore establish the Lotus \[Sūtra\] as the third period, because Prajñā only clarifies emptiness, whereas the Lotus \[Sūtra\] reveals the Middle Way." If they mount such a defense, even if we provisionally grant it might be so because it is stated according to a predominant single perspective, it still contradicts the three periods of the Saṃdhinirmocana\[-sūtra\]. According to the three periods of the Saṃdhinirmocana, the three vehicles are definitive, and it refutes the second period, claiming all \[its teachings\] are non-definitive. Hence, as the Lotus \[Sūtra\] now speaks of overturning the three by means of the one, how could it be equated with the teaching of the third period? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8.14) - [Next: 8.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8.16) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.8.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.8.15) · Pramāṇa
