For this reason, the two gates of cessation and contemplation mutually assist each other and are not parted from each other. If one does not cultivate cessation and contemplation, there is no way to enter the path to bodhi. The Avataṃsaka states: 'Just as a garuḍa uses its left and right wings to beat upon the ocean waters, cleaving them in two, observes the dragons whose lives are about to end, and seizes them; when the Tathāgata appears in the world it is also like this: using great cessation and marvelous contemplation as two wings, he beats upon the ocean waters of sentient beings' great craving, cleaving them in two, observes sentient beings whose faculties have ripened, and delivers them.' In accordance with this meaning, it is essential to cultivate cessation and contemplation." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1876.1.43) - [Next: 1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1876.1.45) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1876.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1876~en-mt.1.44) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1876.1.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1876.1.44) · Pramāṇa
