Now the dharmakāya is equal, devoid of superiority or inferiority; it is merely that because the karmas of sentient beings differ, their manifested responses are not the same. Hence, when Śākya appeared in the world, his physical marks were purple-gold, yet one thousand bhikṣus all perceived a reddish-brown complexion, and sixteen faithful laymen exclusively beheld a grey colour. The colours differed on their own part; the Buddha was ever one. Speaking by analogy with this, there can be no doubt. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.110](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.110) - [Next: 1.112](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.112) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040~en-mt.1.111) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.111](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.111) · Pramāṇa
