The Great Sūtra says: 'A sharp hoe digs into the ground through boulders and gravel, straight down to the diamond.' The Lotus Sūtra says: 'Digging into a high plateau, one still sees dry earth; applying effort without cease, one gradually reaches mud.' This receives its name from that which is destroyed; this establishes the contemplation of piercing through. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.8) - [Next: 3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.10) - [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.3.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.9) · Pramāṇa
