7.50

Answer: I have not seen any text distinguishing this, but to offer one explanation: When a Buddha manifests the eight aspects, they are complete, endure for a long time, and remain unchanging from beginning to end. When a bodhisattva takes a transformational birth, they manifest them temporarily according to what is appropriate; they may not be complete, they may vary from earlier to later, or they may revert to their original form; therefore, they differ from a Buddha.
