Surface and interior are as one, subsuming and merging with the Dharma realm. The moon imprints the cold pool; the pearl sinks into the vast sea. Trees wither and leaves fall; nowhere is it, yet nowhere is it absent. The myriad dharmas are fundamentally identical, never having faced toward or away; only if one is a person in the midst of it is there no change from start to finish. And what is this lack of change? / Only after the snow do we know the integrity of pines and cypresses; / Only when matters are difficult do we see the heart of a great person.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.4.11) - [Next: 4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.4.13) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997~en-mt.4.12) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1997.4.12) · Pramāṇa
