But for what reason do they dwell in darkness, block all cracks that admit light, and recite with loud, strained voices? What teaching is this? Seeing this, all students give rise to doubt and wonder. Please explain what teaching there is for this method. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.7.55) - [Next: 7.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.7.57) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960~en-mt.7.56) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.7.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.7.56) · Pramāṇa
