The text has two points: first, eliminating sinful obstacles; second, drawing close to samādhi. That is, if the contemplation of the Buddha below and the contemplation of the image are accomplished, the true body will certainly be seen; therefore it says that one immediately attains it in the present body. Ninth, the contemplation of the Buddha has two parts: first, picking up what precedes to introduce what follows; second, revealing the object of contemplation. First, picking up what precedes to introduce what follows. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.54) - [Next: 3.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.56) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754~en-mt.3.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1754.3.55) · Pramāṇa
