The function is dense and without effort; like a pearl in a tray, it turns of itself. Causal conditions cannot bind it; birth and death cannot move it. Therefore it is said: Right within light there is darkness, do not meet it with darkness; right within darkness there is light, do not face it with light. Just like the front and back foot. How can one correspond like this? After a long pause, he said: Riding alone on a thousand-mile elephant beyond things; striking the golden bell beneath the ten-thousand-year pine. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.93](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.93) - [Next: 4.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.95) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001~en-mt.4.94) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.4.94) · Pramāṇa
