First, taking up \[the metaphor\]: gold symbolizes mistaken purity; wooden oxen and horses symbolize mistaken bliss; that which is not the path symbolizes mistaken permanence; wooden men and women symbolize mistaken self. Second, "The Tathāgata is also like this" only applies the single meaning of the wooden men and women; the remaining three can be understood. Third, from "If the Buddha, the Tathāgata" downward, it explains: having already known that these are deceptive, why does he deceive those sentient beings? If he did not guide them through deceptions, they would fall into heterodox causes and effects with no way of escape. Now, by using deceptions to guide them, he smashes those heterodox causes, and the notion of sentient beings bound by causes is smashed; by smashing those heterodox effects, the notion of sentient beings bound by effects is smashed. This is called smashing the characteristics of sentient beings. The characteristics of sentient beings being smashed is due to this guiding by deception. Since this intention holds for the infant among humans and gods, the manifestation of the rest can be understood. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 19.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.19.24) - [Next: 19.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.19.26) - [Up: 19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.19) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767~en-mt.19.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.19.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1767.19.25) · Pramāṇa
