Now, in the Mahāyāna, all dharmas have no self-essence of their own, and all take the One Mind as their self-essence; therefore, it is said that "dharma" refers to the minds of sentient beings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.3) - [Next: 1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.5) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845~en-mt.1.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.4) · Pramāṇa
