Outwardly adorned in conformity with the secular, inwardly adorned in conformity with the real—thus, although using jewels to manage his appearance, he adorned his body with the major and minor marks; he accepted food to succor beings, while abiding in dhyāna for his own benefit. Both benefits were practiced together, dwelling concurrently in meditative concentration and scattered states. Ordinary food is of four kinds: morsel food, contact food, mental volition food, and consciousness food. Because dharmas such as meditative concentrations destroy cyclic existence, they are not actually of the substance of food; \[the text\] only takes tasting their realization \[as such\], hence they are not \[literally\] called food. Thus the Buddhabhūmi-sūtra says: "Sustained by the joy and bliss of the vast flavor of the Dharma, it serves as food for supramundane dharmas, not for worldly dharmas." Food nourishes and augments defiled consciousness, as explained in another chapter. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.3.30) - [Next: 3.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.3.32) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782~en-mt.3.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1782.3.31) · Pramāṇa
