3.45

" 'Those who contemplate that Buddha should first contemplate an image: with closed eyes or open eyes, see a jeweled image the colour of Jāmbūnada gold seated upon that flower.'" Using an image to express the true proceeds from the easy to the difficult. Whether painted or sculpted, whatever one is accustomed to seeing is taken as the object. "Seated upon that flower" refers to the previous flower throne. Second, seeing the adornments of the land.
