Is the rule of the Buddhas of the three periods of time identical in this?" The Buddha said: "Having a staff is identical, but their functions differ: some have four prongs, and some have two prongs, while the number of rings does not differ. However, my staff today has four prongs and twelve rings, using this teaching. The two prongs were instituted by Kāśyapa Tathāgata, to make all sentient beings remember the two truths (the conventional truth and the ultimate truth), thereby establishing its meaning." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.785.1.19) - [Next: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.785.1.21) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.785.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.785~en-mt.1.20) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་འཁར་གསིལ་གྱི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.335.7) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.785.1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.785.1.20) · Pramāṇa
