The objection that the mind-Buddha does not give rise to transformative function. Because it was previously said that sentient beings' true mind is identical to the Buddha's essence, and the Buddhas' responses and transformations are precisely the function of sentient beings. Therefore the intent is: sentient beings all possess the true mind without exception; why can the Buddhas give rise to transformative function while sentient beings cannot give rise to it? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.15.22) - [Next: 15.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.15.24) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.15.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.15.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.15.23) · Pramāṇa
