Question: Suppose someone objects: 'If all who have mind will attain bodhi, the Buddha also has a mind and should also attain it. If you say that although the Buddha has a mind, he does not further attain it, then sentient beings without nature, though they have a mind, also will not attain it.' Answer: The sūtra has already made this distinction itself to prevent confusion; therefore it only says that sentient beings have minds, not that the Buddha does. Because taking rebirth in various places is what is termed 'sentient beings', they are not the same as the Buddha. This is detailed as explained there. The stages and grounds are also as described in the lower fascicle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.25.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1890.1.25.3) - [Next: 1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1890.1.26) - [Up: 1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1890.1.25) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1890~en-mt.1.25.4) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [華嚴一乘教義分齊章](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.2.16) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1890.1.25.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1890.1.25.4) · Pramāṇa
