The Hīnayāna takes purifying oneself and saving oneself as its basis; the Mahāyāna cherishes the salvation of living beings. They cannot be spoken of on the same day. Sengzong says: Regulating the small was as in the past; encouraging the great is as in the present. Opening and closing have their proper times; prohibiting and allowing are not fixed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.16.17) - [Next: 16.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.16.19) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.16.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.16.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.16.18) · Pramāṇa
