Bodhisattvas of the distinctive teaching possess a portion of the second contemplation; this belongs to an excess of wisdom and a deficiency of concentration, so they also do not see the Buddha-nature. With the two contemplations as expedients, they are able to enter the third contemplation, and then they see the Buddha-nature. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.73) - [Next: 3.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.75) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.3.74) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.74) · Pramāṇa
