In the Mahāyāna, there is no real \[atom\]; it is merely that discerning wisdom mentally analyzes it down to an atom (paramāṇu). This is a transformation of the conscious mind and is not formed by accumulating small parts. In the Hīnayāna, it is said that real atoms exist to form gross forms; analyzing gross form until it can no longer be analyzed is called a single atom. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.12.3) - [Next: 12.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.12.5) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822~en-mt.12.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.12.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.12.4) · Pramāṇa
