It should be known that the dharmas of sentient beings are beyond conceptual understanding. They are real yet tentative; tentative yet real. Their real and tentative aspects are mutually non-obstructing. It is not possible to perceive [the true reality of] sentient beings with the eyes of a bull or sheep. It is not possible to measure [the true reality of] sentient beings with the mind of an ignorant man. Wisdom like that of the Buddha is able to measure it. Why is this so? Because the dharma of sentient beings is subtle.
