In this, there are two parts: first, revealing the wisdom that self and other are of the same essence; second, explaining the reason for this wisdom of the same essence. This is the first. 'Because one takes sentient beings as one's own body' reveals attaining the thought that embraces others as identical to oneself. 'And yet does not grasp at the characteristics of sentient beings' means not seeing sentient beings outside one's body. Because by equal wisdom one takes sentient beings as one's own body, although one gives rise to vows to deliver all sentient beings, one still does not grasp at the characteristics of sentient beings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.65) - [Next: 2.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.67) - [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.2.66) — 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.2814.4.88) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.66) · Pramāṇa
