"Yet there is verbal expression...": this directly resolves the hidden doubt. Since the sages have already comprehended the inexpressible marks of dharmas, they should have nothing to preach; that there is preaching is using conventional words to guide them to awakening; the intent does not lie in the words. "Their intention...": this analyzes and establishes the sage's intent. The intent rests on returning to reality, not desiring to follow names and become trapped in the marks of verbal expression. "Because thinking of all dharmas...": this in reverse explains and establishes \[the point\]. Because if one follows names, one immediately gives rise to thoughts; then the arising and ceasing of the mind will not conform to equality, which means equating with true wisdom. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.118) - [Next: 2.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.120) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813~en-mt.2.119) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.142) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.119) · Pramāṇa
