9.64

Question: If Buddhas and bodhisattvas share the same nature seen by the discernment of intuitive understanding established jointly through worldly conceptual thought and discrimination, and this is called the reality universally acknowledged by the world, then whenever ordinary worldly people cognize the four great elements and the five sense fields, or cognize pots, robes, and feelings of pleasure and pain, they grasp them all as real. If Buddhas and bodhisattvas, in cognizing the four great elements and so forth, likewise grasp them as real, they would be inverted and it would not be real. If the world grasps them as real while Buddhas and bodhisattvas do not, what they establish would be different, and thus not universally acknowledged.
