The mind penetrates the emptiness of the ten directions; > the six sense organs mutually manifest such a meaning. > Eye and form, ear and sound, nose and fragrance, > body and touch, mind and thought have no distinction. > One should contemplate with this contemplation; > to grasp this as real becomes false imagination. > If one departs from false imagination and grasps a real phenomenon, > one is confounded turn by turn and loses the original mind. > Once the original mind is lost, one follows inversions > and cannot see the Great Being's wondrous physical form. > There is no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; > the meaning of their mutual manifestation is also extinct. > There is also no wondrous physical form of the Great Being, > nor are there various kinds of sound-characteristics. > If a disciple of the Buddha can make such a contemplation, > they will forever leave behind the worldly suffering of birth and death. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.12.8) - [Next: 12.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.12.10) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.12.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.12.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.12.9) · Pramāṇa
