Jingxi comments in correlation with these two lines: 'Illuminating this substance of dullness, it is one contemplation with three names, becoming bright in dullness itself; quieting this substance of distraction, it is three calmings with one name, becoming quiescent in distraction itself.' Now, is one contemplation dullness? Are three calmings distraction? Are three contemplations brightness? Is one calming quiescence? If not, why does the commentary correlate them by saying 'becoming bright in dullness itself' and 'becoming quiescent in distraction itself'? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.3.145) - [Next: 3.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.3.147) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937~en-mt.3.146) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [止觀輔行傳弘決](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1912.5.2.2) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.3.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1937.3.146) · Pramāṇa
