Nature-awakening necessarily possesses true brightness; hence it is said: 'Nature-awakening is wondrously bright, fundamental awakening is brightly wondrous.' Falsely one considers brightness to be distinct from awakening; therefore you say: 'If there is no object of brightening, then there is no brightening awakening,' because only when there is an object of brightening is it called awakening-brightness. From this, the views of understanding and confusion can be distinguished. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.48) - [Next: 4.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.50) - [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.4.49) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [宏智禪師廣錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.1.56) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.4.49) · Pramāṇa
