"I have come from Venerable An of Mount Song." The Patriarch said: "What thing comes thus?" "To explain it as resembling a single thing would not hit the mark." The Patriarch said: "Does it still rely on cultivation and realization, or not?" "Cultivation and realization are not absent, but defilement cannot be had." The Patriarch said: "Just this non-defilement is what all Buddhas protect and keep in mind; you should preserve it well." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.3) - [Next: 2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.5) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992~en-mt.2.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.2.4) · Pramāṇa
