Failing to reflect back the light upon oneself, one cherishes a treasure yet goes astray in the realm. Have you not heard it said: ‘When responding to the ear, it is like an empty valley: great and small sounds are never lacking; when responding to the eye, it is like a thousand suns: the ten thousand forms cannot escape their shadows and substance.’ If you deliberate and seek it from sound and form, Bodhidharma's coming from the West was indeed a great injustice!” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.172](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.172) - [Next: 1.174](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.174) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993~en-mt.1.173) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.173](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1993.1.173) · Pramāṇa
