Where are your slaves, servants, male and female attendants, horses, and carriages?" Third, clarifying the provisions for life and retinue: the supreme dharmakāya is not accomplished by a single truth; the myriad practices serve as provisions for life, and the myriad virtues serve as the retinue, before it can be accomplished. This is the first question. Zhao says: "Jingming's expedient path is boundless, and its concealment and manifestation are difficult to measure. Externally, he appears with the same family dependents as the worldly; internally, he takes the Dharma as his family dependents. Fearing that the confused might see his form and fail to reach his path, he therefore asks this." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.210](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.210) - [Next: 2.212](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.212) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.2.211) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.93) — Classical Chinese - [維摩詰所說經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.vimalakirtinirdesa*zh-kumarajiva.2.140) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.211](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.211) · Pramāṇa
