Furthermore, corresponding with the emptiness samādhi is therefore called contemplation; corresponding with the signless samādhi is therefore called turning back; corresponding with the wishless samādhi is therefore called purification. Furthermore, all external contemplation is called contemplation; all internal contemplation is called turning back; all contemplation that is neither internal nor external is called purification. Therefore, the wanderer Śreṇika said: 'It is not because of internal contemplation that this wisdom is attained; it is not because of external contemplation that this wisdom is attained; it is not because of internal and external contemplation that this wisdom is attained; nor is it because of absence of contemplation that this wisdom is attained.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1917.1.18) - [Next: 1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1917.1.20) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1917.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1917~en-mt.1.19) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [釋禪波羅蜜次第法門](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.7.28) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1917.1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1917.1.19) · Pramāṇa
