Answer: The nirmāṇakāya Buddha is indeed the master of the teachings, and therefore he is praised with particular breadth; the true body is not the master, and therefore it is only praised in summary. In principle, they should be treated equally. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.1.10) - [Next: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.1.12) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843~en-mt.1.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.1.11) · Pramāṇa
