However, the text below only clarifies eight, because the two kinds of beings of transformation have no retributive breath. Yet counting breaths is one; because of the differences in contemplation methods, ten types of practitioners are formed, and thus it is not fixed. The Zhiguan has a chapter on general cultivation with distinct contemplations. In "if, when frequently counting": the upper count (shuo) is pronounced suo and jiao, meaning frequently. The lower count (shu) is read as usual. The text below says: "The counting of breaths that is counted is also like this." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.21) - [Next: 3.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.23) - [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.3.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1801.3.22) · Pramāṇa
