Taking the dharmas of the various four gates as the object is not called the true mark, nor is it birth-and-death and nirvāṇa; the tathāgata-garbha is what is called wondrous existence, possessing real and true dharmas. Such wondrous existence serves as the support for all dharmas, and from this wondrous existence all dharmas are produced; this is the object to be contemplated. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.158) - [Next: 8.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.160) - [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.8.159) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [觀音玄義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1727.1.48) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.159) · Pramāṇa
