### [17.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.17.26)

古德問云。若眾生與諸佛同一心佛性。等有法身。則有二過。一眾生悉當成佛。則眾生界盡。二諸菩薩闕利他行。以無所化機故。

> An ancient master asked: If sentient beings and all buddhas share the same one mind and buddha-nature, and equally possess the dharmakāya, then there are two faults: First, all sentient beings ought to attain buddhahood, and then the realm of sentient beings would be exhausted. Second, the bodhisattvas would lack the practice of benefiting others, because there would be no candidates to be transformed.
