Therefore the sūtra says: "After one or two Ganges \[sands of aeons\], one only begins to catch a faint glimpse of it; after three or four Ganges \[sands of aeons\], one is finally able to understand a fraction of its meaning." Emperor Wu of Liang said: "As for nirvāṇa, its principle surpasses the myriad goods; its reality transcends the hundred negations. Emptiness upon emptiness cannot plumb its true limit; mystery upon mystery cannot exhaust its subtle gateway. Unless one's virtue is equal to impartiality and one's mind accords with non-arising, how could the golden furnace and jade chamber be easily entered?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1768.1.2) - [Next: 1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1768.1.4) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1768.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1768~en-mt.1.3) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大般涅槃經集解](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1763.1.6) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1768.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1768.1.3) · Pramāṇa
