Question: If at the Buddha stage evil is severed completely, and he performs supernormal powers using evil to transform beings, this intentionality would only then be able to give rise to evil. This is like a person painting various forms and images, not functioning spontaneously—as when a bright mirror does not move and images naturally take form. Could it be that the inconceivable principle is able to respond with evil? If it involves intentionality, how would it differ from non-Buddhists?
