Why? Because it is on account of sentient beings having faculties or lacking faculties that there are various coarse and subtle realms. If you do not believe there are sentient beings without faculties, how could there be coarse and subtle realms? If one says that having coarse and subtle realms does not warrant positing \[the division into\] those with faculties and those without faculties, then I also believe that having coarse and subtle realms does not warrant positing the meaning of having the nature or lacking the nature. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.396](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.396) - [Next: 18.398](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.398) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828~en-mt.18.397) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.397](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.18.397) · Pramāṇa
