In "samādhi and wisdom are also like this", it exemplifies the training in morality as each possessing manifest and unmanifest action. From "corresponding to this" onward, etc.: corresponding to active and cessative phenomenal goodness and the unmanifest and manifest two goodnesses of the training in morality, it discusses the symbolic representation of Dharma in terms of the first two practitioners; corresponding to samādhi and wisdom, it discusses the symbolic representation of Dharma in terms of the latter eight practitioners. Thus earlier it explained that samādhi and wisdom contain the meanings of greater and lesser, biased and round, within and beyond the realms. Whenever discussing the symbolic representation of Dharma, the intention is to lead practitioners, upon viewing incense and flowers, not to forget their own morality, samādhi, and wisdom. If one does not comprehend this import, merely counting external objects, what benefit could there be? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.18) - [Next: 3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.20) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801~en-mt.3.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.19) · Pramāṇa
