Furthermore, if during counting of the breath one counts with an obscured mind, lacking illumination, then later when realizing absorption, the mind sees nothing. Now, one who follows the breath illuminates the breath with a clear mind; later when realizing absorption, the eye of the mind opens in clarity, seeing the thirty-six bodily components, destroying craving, views, and conceit. This is precisely how the sublime practices surpass counting the breath. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.53) - [Next: 7.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.55) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.7.54) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.54) · Pramāṇa
