As for the seventh consciousness, it has only the discrimination of essential nature, because it takes the present as object. Alternatively, manas may also have calculative \[discrimination\], because it grasps the self through calculation. If we discuss their essential substance, calculative discrimination has wisdom as its nature; recollective mindfulness has mindfulness as its nature; and discrimination \[itself\] has wisdom as its nature. Since in the true Dharma there is no falsehood, the eighth consciousness therefore lacks these discriminations. Furthermore, ancient masters extensively analyzed the ten kinds of discrimination with respect to the eight consciousnesses. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 53.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53.43) - [Next: 53.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53.45) - [Up: 53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.53.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.53.44) · Pramāṇa
