They are neither the same nor different, because they are free from the two extremes. Just as the sun and its light, or water and its waves, are neither the same nor different, the meaning of the seven consciousnesses and the storehouse consciousness being neither the same nor different is also like this. Therefore it says: "The sun and moon and their light / Are neither different nor not different; / The seven kinds of consciousness, such as intellect, / Should be known to be also like this. / Just as the ocean together with its waves, / Mind arises in conjunction and harmony." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.213](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.213) - [Next: 2.215](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.215) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.2.214) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [釋摩訶衍論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.56) — Classical Chinese - [大乘入楞伽經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*zh-siksananda.2.7) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.214](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.214) · Pramāṇa
