Twenty-third: Freedom in Movement and Quiescence. Question: When one accords with the quiescent principle, internal and external are both obliterated; how can one act and further give rise to great function? Answer: The śrāvaka practices quiescence by seeking truth outside of phenomena; for him, movement is not quiescent. The bodhisattva embodies the principle: phenomena are themselves the truth; moving yet without movement, it does not obstruct constant quiescence. Therefore, without arising from the cessation samādhi, he manifests majestic deportment. Respectfully answered.
