Another explanation: 'Golden Light' is the name of a dharma, because that realm is named Golden Light. Furthermore, the 'Chapter on Confession in a Dream' says: 'He dreamt of seeing a golden drum emitting a great light, and within this light, he was able to see immeasurable buddhas of the ten directions.' Again, the third \[chapter\] says: 'Emitting golden-coloured light pervading the realms of the ten directions is the mighty power of this sūtra.' Or it applies to both person and dharma, because the preceding two passages speak by implication. Although principle and phenomenon are distinct, both may be called 'dharma'. In principle, it may also encompass names of person, dharma, and metaphor; the primary intention takes dharma and metaphor as the title of the sūtra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.1.40) - [Next: 1.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.1.42) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788~en-mt.1.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.1.41) · Pramāṇa
