This second part is the analogy. Sengzhao says: "The rice is in one vessel; its colour is uniform, so how could the rice have differences? The difference comes from the gods themselves. That the Buddha-lands differ may be understood by comparison with this. Hence the text below says: 'The merits of all Buddhas, Tathāgatas, are equal; for the sake of teaching and transforming sentient beings, they manifest different Buddha-lands.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.213](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.213) - [Next: 1.215](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.215) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.1.214) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經關中釋抄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2778.1.28.4) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.214](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.214) · Pramāṇa
