Yet in the vaipulya sūtras, one cultivates supreme, profound, and wondrous dhyāna-concentration, being instructed to continuously visualize the ūrṇā and recite the buddha's name in order to pray for superior concentration; once one has accorded with it, mind and buddha are both forgotten. I truly believe this! But if one’s silent mindfulness is as clear as a spring, samādhi will naturally arrive on its own; what need is there for voices to clamor in the village streets and echoes to shake the mountain forests before it can be considered the Path?” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2.24) - [Next: 2.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2.26) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967~en-mt.2.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1967.2.25) · Pramāṇa
