Temporarily halting and warding off can certainly be nominal; enduringly sustaining forever is unreasonable. If so, the Buddha's body, the prātimokṣa vows, and so forth also ward off permanently; why would their meanings differ? Warding off has the sense of cessation, so the nominal can ward off the real; sustaining has the sense of upholding, hence the nominal does not sustain. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1831.2.35) - [Next: 2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1831.2.37) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1831.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1831~en-mt.2.36) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1831.2.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1831.2.36) · Pramāṇa
