Answer: Because conventional objects have coarse and subtle \[aspects\], it is therefore opened into two. Another question: If the conventional has coarse and subtle \[aspects\] and forms two contemplations, ultimate truth also has shallow and deep \[aspects\], so it should also form two contemplations. Answer: The conventional pertains to phenomena; therefore, it can form two. Ultimate \[truth\] pertains to principle; principle is non-dual, and therefore it is not opened. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1800.1.7) - [Next: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1800.1.9) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1800.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1800~en-mt.1.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1800.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1800.1.8) · Pramāṇa
