That land only establishes three seasons, namely spring, summer, and winter. The second month is the harmonious mid-season of spring; is it not distinct? Winter and summer, cold and heat, are partial and clear. Formerly, the teachings on suffering and emptiness were partial like that; now, since the two principles are doubly manifested, \[this month\] is chosen to symbolize harmony and the middle." Sengzong says: "This is the season when flourishing and withering alternate. It is intended to clarify the Tathāgata's two kinds of dharmakāya, abandoning the traces to return to the root." Zhixiu says: "'When he was about to enter nirvāṇa' refers to the time of preaching the sūtra." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2.20) - [Next: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2.22) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.2.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.2.21) · Pramāṇa
