Without earth and without sentient beings, the palace and the land cannot be completed. The two vehicles settle their spirits in emptiness and non-being and do not depend on sentient beings, so they have no pure land. \[Dao\]sheng says: It is not that there are no sentient beings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.371](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.371) - [Next: 1.373](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.373) - [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.1.372) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.372](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.372) · Pramāṇa
