Dharmas have no fixed characteristics, and he discriminates them according to how they respond. For those who delight in difference, he discriminates difference without contravening sameness; for those who delight in sameness, he discriminates sameness without contravening difference. Different distinctions of sameness and difference all accord with the characteristics of dharmas; therefore he has attained mastery. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.271](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.271) - [Next: 1.273](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.273) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.1.272) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.135) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.272](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.272) · Pramāṇa
