It is precisely because both are relinquished that it is called truly true." > He further inquired: "If forgetting both the conventional and the true is truly true, should not forgetting both the true and the conventional also be truly conventional?" > The decree replied: "Because one forgets the conventional and forgets the true, one perceives the true; as one forgets the true and forgets the conventional, one all the more perceives that it is not conventional." > He further inquired: "When a bodhisattva accords with the true, he already forgets both the conventional and the true; now calling it 'truly true' would contravene the principle." > The decree replied: "Provisionally calling it 'truly true', in the end he himself forgets the true. When both are forgotten it is designated 'true'; how could that contravene the principle?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.25) - [Next: 21.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.27) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.21.26) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.26) · Pramāṇa
