If one truly perceives someone to be saved, how is that different from scooping the moon out of water, grasping a reflection in a mirror, carving the tracks of a bird, or planting scorched sprouts? We do not yet understand what is ultimately considered a sentient being for whom deliverance is raised." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.54) - [Next: 2.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.56) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017~en-mt.2.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.55) · Pramāṇa
