If it is said that although the Buddha possesses a mind, he no longer will attain it, then sentient beings lacking gotra, although possessing this mind, also will not attain it.'" Answer: "The sūtra has already made its own distinction to eliminate ambiguity; it merely says that sentient beings have minds, not that the Buddha does. Because taking rebirth in various places is termed 'sentient beings,' they are not the same as the Buddha." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.2.15) - [Next: 2.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.2.17) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866~en-mt.2.16) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [華嚴一乘成佛妙義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1890.1.25.4) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.2.16) · Pramāṇa
