18.19

Answer: The round mirror of identical substance does not belong exclusively to the Buddha, nor to sentient beings, because they are of the same single substance. It is merely that sentient beings polish their own mirror, but because they have not yet made it entirely bright, they can temporarily manifest this form, expressing the power of progressive cultivation.
