The worlds are manifold, and sentient beings are not the same; their good and evil actions and retributions are each distinct. When the Tathāgata speaks the Dharma of emptiness and quiescence, what samādhi does he enter that is inconceivable? His majestic supernatural power is stirring and moving, so difficult to fathom! Sentient beings with consciousness can all be easily transformed, but when mountains, rivers, rock walls, and the growing trees, grasses, and shrubs all transform into human forms, are they sentient beings with consciousness or without consciousness?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2.37) - [Next: 2.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2.39) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384~en-mt.2.38) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.2.38) · Pramāṇa
