Answer: Knowing the mind is merely the knowledge of others' minds, shared by ordinary beings and the small \[vehicle\]. Knowing the capacities and conditions of others is the knowledge of the aspects of the path, which only begins with the distinct teaching; even the shared teaching does not possess it, let alone ordinary beings and the small \[vehicle\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.7) - [Next: 5.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.9) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778~en-mt.5.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.8) · Pramāṇa
