Practice and principle are also like this: when the king of mind tallies with principle, the factors also tally with principle; therefore it is named that which can be a norm. As for the mind being constant: the nature of the mind is constantly fixed, just like empty space; who can destroy it? Furthermore, evil coarse examination cannot destroy good coarse examination, perverse practice does not disturb correct practice, and perverse principle does not destroy correct principle; therefore the mind is named constant. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.50) - [Next: 8.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.52) - [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.8.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.51) · Pramāṇa
