The similarities and differences between this and Tiantai's intent may be known. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.126](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.9.126) - [Next: 9.128](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.9.128) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.9.127) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.9.127](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.9.127) · Pramāṇa
