When mind unites with dharmas, one contemplates internally, practicing the dharmas; through dharmas one sees principle, so dharmas are themselves the sūtra. Therefore, a sūtra says: 'Those who cultivate my Dharma know by self-realization. If the mind lacks real practice, what is the use of asking?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5.43) - [Next: 5.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5.45) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.5.44) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [摩訶止觀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.131) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.5.44) · Pramāṇa
