Why did the Buddha not now transform his mind to cause him to see purity, but instead had to press the earth? Explanation: There are three distinctions in transforming for the sake of conversion: first, transforming the object to follow the mind; second, transforming the mind to follow the object; third, transforming both object and mind together. Here, relying on the first approach, he transforms the object to follow the mind, conforming to Śāriputra's intention of seeking purity, in order to reveal that the defiled realm has no fixed characteristics. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.1.58) - [Next: 1.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.1.60) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776~en-mt.1.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.1.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.1.59) · Pramāṇa
