In joy there is suffering that people do not know; in suffering there is joy that people do not understand. Knead empty space and brandish what is beyond forms; carry the board all one's life, dying without regret." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.73) - [Next: 9.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.75) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.9.74) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.9.74) · Pramāṇa
