How is it for the two vehicles? Answer: Although it is the same teaching, the meanings of great and small differ. In the principle of the two vehicles, it is not fitting for them to know this. Although they sit together with the two vehicles in liberation, they despise themselves and do not generate \[the aspiration\], never seeking it. Furthermore, although bodhisattvas know that the Buddha will still be eternally extinguished, eternal extinction runs contrary to the meaning of acquiring a land; therefore we know this Buddha has the teaching without the person. Since the teaching is expediently applied and does not match causal practice, with regard to the expedient teaching one need not laboriously exhaust it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.3.138) - [Next: 3.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.3.140) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779~en-mt.3.139) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.3.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.3.139) · Pramāṇa
