Harmonizing the branches of awakening is also like this: if too high they scatter, if too low they sink down; when between high and low is balanced, one advances straight ahead on an even course. The mark of opening and closing is just like a pure flower. \[Dao\]sheng says: The seven branches of awakening take opening into awakening as the Path and freedom from defilement as purity; such is the principle of flowers. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.127](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.127) - [Next: 7.129](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.129) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.7.128) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.128](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.128) · Pramāṇa
