This is the question. "All sentient beings all have..." and so forth: first, raising the doctrine to be challenged. "How is there faith and lack of faith..." and so forth: next, presenting the contradiction and raising an objection. "Faith and lack of faith": this points out the presence or absence of faith at the stage of ordinary beings. "Difference in earlier and later": this points out the differences in understanding and practice upon entering the stages. Therefore, the new translation of the Treatise says: "From the initial resolve up to nirvāṇa, there are many differences of earlier and later, and so forth." "All ought to simultaneously..." and so forth: properly stating the challenge. Since internal perfuming is equal, how could there be differences? Since there are differences, how can one speak of equal perfuming? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.42) - [Next: 4.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.44) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814~en-mt.4.43) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論略述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.21) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.43) · Pramāṇa
