A doubter says: 'The meaning is still not clear. If one admits there is a buddha without teaching, one falls into the fault of causelessness. If one says he received teachings, one falls into the fault of infinite regress. I wish to hear a single resolution of this.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.4.47) - [Next: 4.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.4.49) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937~en-mt.4.48) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.4.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.4.48) · Pramāṇa
