Question: The sūtra text only speaks of explaining the conjured city; why does it speak of explaining a real city? Answer: The "Parable of the Conjured City Chapter" fully recounts both the past and the present. The intent of recounting the past was precisely to clarify that it is real; recounting the present is precisely to clarify that it is conjured. From "Moreover, appearing" below is the treatise text. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.87) - [Next: 3.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.89) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818~en-mt.3.88) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1818.3.88) · Pramāṇa
