That is to say: when a practitioner first sits in meditation, because the mind is coarsely distracted, they should cultivate calming to eliminate and break it. If calming does not break it, they should immediately cultivate contemplation. Hence it is said: cultivating calming and contemplation to counter and break the coarse distraction of the initial mind. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915.1.94) - [Next: 1.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915.1.96) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915~en-mt.1.95) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915.1.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1915.1.95) · Pramāṇa
