'Like a city of the gandharvas' means that when the sun first rises, one sees city gates, watchtowers, palaces, and travelers entering and exiting; as the sun moves higher, they gradually disappear; they can only be seen with the eye, but have no reality. The unwise do not recognize this and declare it to be real; the wise seeing it immediately know it lacks reality. All dharmas are also like this: the unwise do not comprehend, falsely conceiving reality in conventional designations, a self, the skandhas, the āyatanas, and the dhātus. The wise thoroughly understand that they are all completely non-existent; therefore, it is said to be like a city of the gandharvas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.66) - [Next: 3.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.68) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.3.67) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [宗鏡錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.69.33.1) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.67) · Pramāṇa
