Yet saying 'manifesting it' has the meaning of display. The Buddhas are able to manifest purity and conceal impurity for sentient beings; but if they manifest purity and conceal impurity, it does not benefit sentient beings. Leaving it be without concealing it has the meaning of manifesting identity. / \[Seng\]zhao says: From the Buddha's perspective, it is constantly pure like this; outwardly responding to the base and inferior, its impurity is identical to theirs. / \[Dao\]sheng says: Since it says 'identical', it is no different from them; bending down to accommodate the base and inferior, he therefore manifests it as if impure. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.473](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.473) - [Next: 1.475](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.475) - [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.1.474) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.474](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.474) · Pramāṇa
