Furthermore, the eyes are the foremost of physical form, and the mind is the root of virtue; intending to praise virtue, he therefore extols his mind. 'Crossed beyond all dhyāna concentrations' explains why it is pure. > \[Seng\]zhao says: The foremost in form is the eyes, and what governs virtue is the mind; hence the composer marks these two at the head of the hymn. The ocean of dhyāna concentration is deep, broad, and boundless; unless it were the Tathāgata's pure, true mind, none could cross it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.257](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.257) - [Next: 1.259](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.259) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.1.258) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.129) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.258](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.258) · Pramāṇa
