The grass exemplifies the eightfold noble path; being able to cultivate the eightfold noble path, one directly perceives the buddha-nature. This metaphor corresponds to the perfect teaching directly producing ghee without passing through the four flavors. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.48) - [Next: 1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.50) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930~en-mt.1.49) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [妙法蓮華經玄義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.5.89) — Classical Chinese - [摩訶止觀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.215) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1930.1.49) · Pramāṇa
