The real mark is faint and subtle, and its principle is deep and profound; just as scaling a sheer cliff requires a suspended ladder, so if one wishes to tally with the true source, one must rely on teaching and practice. Therefore, teaching and practice are taken as the gates. A later passage says: 'Through the gate of the Buddha's teaching, they escape the suffering of the three realms'; and 'When the Buddha's sons have walked the path, in a future life they will become buddhas.' 'Gate' means that which can provide access; this is what it means. It is briefly divided into four topics: first, briefly showing the characteristics of the gates; second, showing the contemplation for entering the gates; third, showing the crude and the wonderful; fourth, showing the opening and revealing. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.108) - [Next: 8.110](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.110) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.8.109) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.109) · Pramāṇa
