I know how to follow this: T30.1564.3.19c20
It cites 問曰。諸法各有性。from the Mūlamadhyamakaśāstra, or Zhōng Lùn.
How does one follow a citation like this: Chung-lun, T3.33b11-12?
When I go to T30 scroll 3 I find the text ending on a page 29, not 33? How am I reading the citation wrong?
The passage being cited with T3.33b11-12 is actually on scroll 4. Why is it not cited as T4.33b11-12?

These bodies are like foam.
Them being frail, who can rejoice in them?
The Buddha attained the vajra-body.
Still, it becomes inconstant and ruined.
The many Buddhas are vajra-entities.
All are also subject to inconstancy.
Quickly ended, like melting snow --
how could things be different?
The Buddha passed into parinirvāṇa afterward.

Re: Taishō Citations
In relation to the above, there is an issue with scroll # versus volume #. How does one tell which one is being used?Coëmgenu wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 2:11 am I know how to follow this: T30.1564.3.19c20
