Free and unobstructed, they can be equal, as the Zheng fahua explains; they can contract, as in the eight hundred of the body, eye, and nose; they can expand, as in the one thousand two hundred of the ear, tongue, and mind. The sūtra says: 'If one can uphold this sūtra, one's merits will be immeasurable, like empty space without boundary, and its blessings cannot be limited.' The meaning of interchangeable function is thus made clear! > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.71) - [Next: 6.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.73) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.6.72) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.72) · Pramāṇa
