Although their spiritual disposition, aspiration, faculties, and realization are equal, their practices and manifestations differ. Sentient beings are not the same, having timidity, laziness, greed, and so forth; worlds are not the same in the events of the Buddhas' appearances; faculties have superior, middling, and inferior; desires and inclinations may be swift, middling, or dull; lineages have inferior, middling, and superior; and in what they see and hear all are different. Therefore, these practices of the bodhisattvas cannot be identical. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.154](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.154) - [Next: 2.156](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.156) - [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.2.155) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.155](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.155) · Pramāṇa
