The above clarified inexhaustibility; this clarifies indestructibility. Like worldly diamond (vajra), its substance cannot be destroyed, yet it can destroy all things. Drawing the analogy to the dharmakāya: the three marks cannot alter its spirit, and the myriad transformations cannot change its substance. Baoliang states: The substance, marks, body, and lifespan are in truth not different; yet discerning them according to meaning, they cannot lack distinction. The body corresponds to the substance of the Dharma, while life speaks of beginning and end; hence they are divided into two questions. Zhixiu states: This is the third question, on the fruition of the dharmakāya. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8.33) - [Next: 8.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8.35) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763~en-mt.8.34) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.8.34) · Pramāṇa
