[Supplementary note:] As for "grass and trees have life": outsiders take having consciousness as life, while the Tathāgata takes having growth as life. Grass and trees have growth but lack consciousness; that which has growth should not be killed, and by this he accorded with the mundane, not that he accorded with their having consciousness.
