To speak of them briefly, its cognitions are four. What are the four? First is determinate cognition, which is called following thusness; second is indeterminate cognition, which is called skillful crushing; third is nirvāṇa cognition, which is called eliminating lightning-like awareness; fourth is ultimate cognition, which is called entering reality and completing the path. Elder! These four great functionings of affairs were spoken by the past buddhas: they are a great bridge, they are a great ferry crossing. If transforming sentient beings, one should apply these cognitions.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1730.3.77) - [Next: 3.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1730.3.79) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1730.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1730~en-mt.3.78) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [金剛三昧經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.other.vajrasamadhisutra*zh-t273.1.178) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1730.3.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1730.3.78) · Pramāṇa
