There is only the ekayāna Dharma. The single conveyance is the one mind. Merely guarding the one mind is the gate of mind-tathatā. All practices of dharmas do not depart from one's own mind; only the mind knows itself. The mind has no physical form or color. The patriarchs only transmitted mind with mind; the realized ones seal and certify it, and there is no other dharma." He also said: "Everything depends on the mind; heterodoxy and orthodoxy lie in oneself. Not thinking of a single thing is the original mind. Only wisdom can know it; there is no other practice." His verse of transmission of the Dharma says: / "Sentient beings come to sow the seeds; / Dependent on the ground, the fruit grows again. / What is insentient has no seed, / And has no nature and no arising." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 97.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.46) - [Next: 97.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.48) - [Up: 97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.97.47) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (5) - [佛祖歷代通載](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.12.39) — Classical Chinese - [景德傳燈錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.3.31) — Classical Chinese - [釋氏稽古略](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.76) — Classical Chinese - [傳法正宗記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2078.6.23) — Classical Chinese - [傳法正宗定祖圖](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2079.1.68) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.47) · Pramāṇa
