Furthermore, the four dhyānas and the four immeasurables are the characteristics of calming; the six practices are the characteristics of contemplation. These all fail to escape birth and death, and thus take the defiled as their characteristic. Therefore the Great Treatise says: 'Except for Mount Malaya, nowhere else produces sandalwood; except for the wisdom of the three vehicles, nowhere else has true wisdom.' Hence these are not what is discussed now. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.39) - [Next: 3.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.41) - [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.3.40) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.40) · Pramāṇa
