For three months, constantly contemplate the Buddha. How to contemplate? Contemplate the thirty-two marks: from the thousand-spoked wheel mark on the soles of the feet, reverse-trace and contemplate each mark up to the invisible cranial protuberance; one should also trace forward from the cranial protuberance down to the thousand-spoked wheels, wishing: "May I also attain these marks." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.18) - [Next: 2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.20) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.2.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.19) · Pramāṇa
