Now contemplating the mind is also like this: the names of the three contemplations express the principle of the three truths, which is precisely their text. Knowing that names are non-names, one investigates the principle of truth with the mind; the contemplative method is continuous, constantly presenting itself naturally without generating false thoughts, which is called "recitation." Such recitation recites throughout the dharmadhātu, not stopping at eighty recitations. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.38) - [Next: 4.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.40) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.4.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.39) · Pramāṇa
