Wei then requested one from the Master. The Master drew a circular figure on the paper and annotated it: "To know it by thinking falls into the second head; to know it without thinking falls into the third category." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990.1.35) - [Next: 1.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990.1.37) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990~en-mt.1.36) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990.1.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1990.1.36) · Pramāṇa
