The herb is an analogy for the correct path; if one can cultivate the correct path, one immediately sees Buddha-nature. Is this analogy not the meaning of the perfect? Without passing through the four flavors, one immediately achieves ghee. Borrowing this establishes by analogy the stages of gradual and perfect and so forth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.214](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.214) - [Next: 3.216](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.216) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.3.215) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [妙法蓮華經玄義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.89) — Classical Chinese - [天台八教大意](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.49) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.215](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.215) · Pramāṇa
