One grasps the root to know the branches; one holds to the mother to see the child. The Buddha said that the defilement and purity of sentient beings all arise from the mind. If one seeks the root of the mind, it is not in the three places. Since the mind is not there, sinful defilement can be understood \[in the same way\]." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.174](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.174) - [Next: 3.176](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.176) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.3.175) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.464) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.175) · Pramāṇa
