Why is this? Having marks is one extreme, and being without marks is another extreme; leaving these two extremes and practicing the Middle Way is the true mark of all Buddhas. Therefore, it is said that all past Buddhas fall into the categories of marks; if one does not grasp at marks and categories when dedicating \[merit\], this is non-delusion.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.5.11) - [Next: 5.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.5.13) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976~en-mt.5.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.5.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1976.5.12) · Pramāṇa
