Or seeing someone enter the sea whose boat is about to sink, he transforms into earth for them so that they find safety. Wherever water, fire, and wind are needed, he responds to whatever they seek. Sometimes he magically transforms them, or sometimes he acts as them with his own body. Amid food and medicine, it is also like this. > \[Seng\]zhao says: Encountering people drifting at sea, he transforms his body into earth; water, fire, and wind all transform their forms spontaneously according to what those beings require. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.193](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.193) - [Next: 7.195](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.195) - [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.7.194) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.236) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.194](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.7.194) · Pramāṇa
