Those of superior capacity realise the object as encompassing them all, or \[rely upon\] one, two, or three indeterminately, and internal or external acts and experiences are invariably so. The great carriage is immeasurable; could its description have been set forth in vain? Matching the Dharma to the metaphor originated within our own tradition; as that to which the origin and traces return, the perfect principle is not two. Without differentiating yet differentiated, it increases in clarity rank by rank; this is extensively \[treated\] in other texts and cannot be fully presented here. Judging the doctrines according to the texts, whether the four \[teachings\] or the eight \[teachings\], the Way is present before one's very eyes. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.44) - [Next: 1.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.46) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930~en-mt.1.45) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.45) · Pramāṇa
