Answer: Saying that the Buddha has a real illness and needs milk is inappropriate, hence \[Vimalakīrti\] told him to leave. Saying that the Buddha manifests an illness and therefore needs milk is logically acceptable, hence \[the voice\] told him to fetch it. Reprimanding the dharma, he first reprimanded him to make him leave; revealing the dharma, he later showed him that he should fetch it; thus there is no contradiction. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.4.87) - [Next: 4.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.4.89) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782~en-mt.4.88) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.4.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.4.88) · Pramāṇa
