Because it is non-dual, all sentient beings and Buddhas are solely the one tathatā; because it is not non-dual, each and every sentient being and each and every Buddha is entirely the whole essence of tathatā. Because it is non-dual, there is neither perfuming agent nor object of perfuming; because it is not non-dual, perfuming agent and object of perfuming can be discussed. Furthermore, if it were solely non-dual, there would certainly be no perfuming agent or object of perfuming; if it were solely not non-dual, there would likewise be no perfuming agent or object of perfuming, for sentient beings and Buddhas would be entirely separate, so sentient beings could not evoke \[a response\] and Buddhas could not respond. Now, because \[tathatā is\] differentiated while non-dual, perfuming of the function can be discussed. Moreover, because non-duality is itself not non-duality, there is the differentiated condition; because not non-duality is itself non-duality, there is the equal condition. Furthermore, because there is the differentiated condition, the Buddha cannot deliver those without conditions; because there is the equal condition, the Buddha's delivery of sentient beings never ceases. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.47) - [Next: 4.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.49) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850~en-mt.4.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.48) · Pramāṇa
