Wishing to clarify that true benevolence has no conditions yet does not depart from conditions, he establishes the meaning of the aforementioned signless true benevolence. \[Dao\]sheng says: Having awakened to the unreality of sentient beings, one must embrace all beings alongside oneself; hence there is benevolence. Yet it also seems as though there is nothing upon which to bestow benevolence, which is why he asks this next question. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.80) - [Next: 6.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.82) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.6.81) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.81) · Pramāṇa
