Now it says that with the buddha-eye one sees clearly, while bodhisattvas, using the wisdom-eye, do not see clearly. Baoliang comments: As for the words 'with what eye does a bodhisattva of the ten stages see such that it is not clear,' below this next answers the sixth question. The Buddha states that the bodhisattva has attained only four eyes, and because of using the wisdom-eye does not see clearly; the Buddha is complete with the five eyes, shining upon and fathoming the ultimate source, and therefore sees the buddhadhātu clearly. Below there are several layers of explanation. Bodhisattvas of the ten stages are still undertaking practices for bodhi, and therefore do not see clearly. That a bodhisattva of the ten stages only knows that he himself attains buddhahood, but does not know that others possess the buddhadhātu, is also an expression of incomplete meaning (neyārtha). Defilements inherently obstruct wisdom; when a bodhisattva of the ten stages has almost exhausted the eradication of delusion, how could it be that he merely knows that he himself will become a buddha, but does not know that others possess the buddhadhātu? Others' delusions also cannot obstruct my wisdom so as to make it irrational. The reason this is stated now is to distinguish the characteristics of difficulty and ease, clarifying that for one who has already become a buddha, it can be said to be easily known, whereas for one who has not yet attained the way, their traces are obscure and difficult to know; hence there is this statement. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 55.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55.35) - [Next: 55.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55.37) - [Up: 55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.55.36) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.55.36) · Pramāṇa
