Resting the mind on the provisional principle, just as Vimalakīrti entered samādhi to contemplate the faculties of the bhikṣus and distinguish medicine and sickness—this is the meaning of resting. The provisional principle does not stir—this is non-calming calming. These three meanings together constitute the characteristic of the calming of conforming to conditions through expedients. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.48) - [Next: 3.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.50) - [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.3.49) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.49) · Pramāṇa
