Mahāmati addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honoured One! Are speech and discrimination different or not different?" The Buddha told Mahāmati: "Speech and discrimination are neither different nor not different. Why is this? Because that \[speech\] is the mark produced by its cause. Mahāmati! If speech and discrimination were different, discrimination could not be the cause; if they were not different, words could not reveal meaning, yet there is revelation. Therefore they are neither different nor not different." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.52) - [Next: 2.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.54) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.2.53) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [楞伽阿跋多羅寶經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*zh-gunabhadra.2.20) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པའི་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo.3.15) — Classical Tibetan - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་མདོ་ལས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་གསུང་གི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ལེའུ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo-d108.3.9) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.53) · Pramāṇa
