Extinguished yet not extinguished, how could it be given form or name? \[Dao\]sheng says: Having said that it transforms sentient beings, it might seem again as if it sees sentient beings as existing; hence it says 'contemplating quiescent extinction'. 'Contemplating quiescent extinction' does not mean eternal extinction. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.299](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.299) - [Next: 9.301](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.301) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.9.300) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.300](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.9.300) · Pramāṇa
