Thus the Huayan says: "All sentient beings are merely sustained by thoughts, just as clouds in the sky are the floating vapor of space. One who understands empty space knows that floating clouds are ultimately not space; the life spans of sentient beings are the floating thoughts of the real. One who understands real quiescence knows that sentient beings are ultimately not real." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.515](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.515) - [Next: 2.517](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.517) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795~en-mt.2.516) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.516](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1795.2.516) · Pramāṇa
