Relinquishing the notion of consciousness-only, one attains the true dharmadhātu. The former contemplation is without characteristics, relinquishing the characteristics of external dusts. The latter contemplation is non-arising, relinquishing the notion of consciousness-only." Furthermore, he was once climbing a mountain on an excursion with his Dharma companions when a wildfire surrounded them on all four sides. The assembly all scattered in flight, but Lingrun alone walked calmly, ascending and looking around as usual. He spoke to his followers, saying: "Outside of mind there is no fire; the fire is truly one's own mind. Thinking that the fire can be escaped, one has no means of avoiding the fire." When the fire reached Lingrun, it spontaneously subsided. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 98.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.98.7) - [Next: 98.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.98.9) - [Up: 98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.98) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.98.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.98.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.98.8) · Pramāṇa
