Just as extinguishing sorrow from the first dhyāna onward, up to neither-perception-nor-non-perception extinguishing the perception of the base of non-employment, these are all preliminary expedient means within prajñā, extinguishing phenomena in order to enter emptiness. Because it extinguishes phenomena, it can generate subsequent superior phenomena; and because prajñā can generate the myriad phenomena, these twelve doors of dhyāna are all subsumed under the sphere of prajñā. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.6.158) - [Next: 6.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.6.160) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.6.159) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.6.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.6.159) · Pramāṇa
