1.93

"When the mind is confused, the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra turns it;
When the mind is awakened, it turns the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra.
Reciting the sūtra for long without understanding it
Makes an enemy of the meaning.
When there is no thought, reciting is correct;
When there is thought, reciting becomes deviant.
Taking no account of either existence or non-existence,
One constantly rides the white bullock cart."
