How can you cite the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra's clarification that the twelve links of dependent origination are buddha-nature to interpret this chapter? Answer: The Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra states: "If one says that the eleven divisions of scriptures do not clarify buddha-nature, this does not slander the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha. But if one says that the twelve divisions of scriptures do not clarify buddha-nature, that is slandering the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha." Now this vaipulya \[sūtra\] possesses all twelve divisions; how can one say that it does not clarify buddha-nature? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9.6) - [Next: 9.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9.8) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778~en-mt.9.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9.7) · Pramāṇa
