For example, a painting, though one exhausts thought and expends every effort upon it, in the end never resembles reality; this is called crude. But when a bright mirror reflects a face, it resembles it spontaneously; this is called subtle. Expedient supernormal powers are like a crude painting; the spontaneous responsiveness of the Middle Way directly facing and directly responding is like a clear mirror, and is therefore subtle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.78) - [Next: 6.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.80) - [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.6.79) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.79) · Pramāṇa
