Since the mind has no shape or characteristics, searching for it throughout the ten directions, it is ultimately unobtainable. It is like a person who, being lost, takes east to be west, while the cardinal direction does not actually change. Sentient beings are also like this: being deluded by avidyā, they take the mind to be thoughts, while the mind is actually unmoving. If one can contemplate and know that the mind does not arise, one will then be able to conform to and enter the gate of tathatā." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6.18) - [Next: 6.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6.20) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668~en-mt.6.19) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (5) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.243) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論裂網疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1850.4.109) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.mahayanasraddhotpadasastra*zh-paramartha.1.43) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.mahayanasraddhotpadasastra*zh-siksananda.1.28) — Classical Chinese - [起信論疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1844.2.4) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.6.19) · Pramāṇa
