When the fire-drill moves, fire arises; the wood is consumed and ash is formed; the ash returns to the earth and never again becomes wood. When the wisdom of cultivation arises, delusion is eliminated and enlightenment is revealed; where it is revealed, it is purely real and delusion never arises again. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.159) - [Next: 4.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.161) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799~en-mt.4.160) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.160) · Pramāṇa
