The body is also like this: knowing, seeing, advancing, and stopping alter according to things; relying on conditions it achieves function, moving according to circumstance. Examining its causes, there is no person. \[Seng\]zhao says: Being exalted above the myriad things and unchanging from beginning to end is what is called a 'person'. But external water benefits the myriad forms, adapting square or round according to objects, conforming differently to low or high, and its substance is unfixed. Its substance being unfixed, water has no person. Since external water has no person, the internal counterpart may be known. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.151](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.151) - [Next: 2.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.153) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.2.152) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.280) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.152](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.152) · Pramāṇa
