If it is non-conscious, this is called quiescent; why should I now seek to sever this consciousness?" This is called attaining the absorption of the station of little consciousness.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.8.94) - [Next: 8.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.8.96) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916~en-mt.8.95) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [大方等大集經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.mahasamnipata.mahavaipulyamahasannipatasutra*zh-dharmaksema.22.110) — Classical Chinese - [法界次第初門](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.307) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.8.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.8.95) · Pramāṇa
