'The objective realm of bodily sensation' refers to the cognitive realm of the bodily sensations of the five aggregates. Although there are hundreds of thousands of those worldly treatises, when their ultimate intent is exhausted, they do not transcend sentient consciousness—how could they know the supreme Way? Regarding 'in the final fifty years, they will destroy the compilation \[of the Dharma\],' according to the \*Jingang gongdeshi lun\*, the human lifespan of a hundred years is divided into two halves: in the first half of fifty, the power of the teachings increases, and in the latter fifty years, the power of the teachings gradually wanes, referring to the time when the true Dharma is about to be extinguished. Alternatively, it should read 'the latter five hundred years'—the character 'ten' (十) is perhaps an error—destroying the true teachings compiled by the Tathāgata. Because their inverted pernicious perceptions, causes of suffering, and heterodox views will flourish, their evil followers will adopt and practice their doctrines, bringing about their own downfall. From 'In this way' downward, he concludes by reproving them. Regarding 'clinging to their own causes and conditions,' it is just like the bodily sensation spoken of, yet they cannot realize it within themselves through principle; hence it is said that they 'lack self-realization.' Because they cannot attain self-realization, although they broadly expound hundreds of thousands of headings of matters, they are nothing more than dharmas that delude the world. That they do not recognize this themselves is truly lamentable. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.187](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.187) - [Next: 3.189](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.189) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.3.188) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པའི་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo.5.28) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.188](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.188) · Pramāṇa
