This chapter has three sections: first, analogizing the Buddha; second, from 'not knowing suffering and pleasure' onward, analogizing bodhisattvas; third, from 'further, like a baby' onward, analogizing sentient beings. It clarifies why the teaching of the five vehicles had to be taught in the past. Baoliang says: This chapter has five sections: first, clarifying that the Buddha himself acts as a baby; second, clarifying that bodhisattvas act as babies; third, clarifying that the Buddha uses upāya for transformation; fourth, clarifying that the Buddha taught the fruits of the two vehicles as the true ultimate; fifth, clarifying that for those with the view of nihilism, he taught the existence of real sentient beings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 44.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.44.47) - [Next: 44.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.44.49) - [Up: 44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.44) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.44.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.44.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.44.48) · Pramāṇa
