It is simply that because ordinary persons possess a discriminating mind that grasps signs, they are said to have a mind. A bodhisattva constantly contemplates the signless, non-discriminating mind, yet through skillful means responds to beings and speaks in conventional terms and signs; therefore, he is said to have no mind. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2778.1.25) - [Next: 1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2778.1.27) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2778.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2778~en-mt.1.26) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2778.1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2778.1.26) · Pramāṇa
