In the Chan school, not a single thought arises, and not a single speck of dust appears. If one races after mirage-water or contends to grasp sky-flowers, using illusions to cultivate illusions, there is ultimately no principle to be attained." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.34) - [Next: 2.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.36) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017~en-mt.2.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.35) · Pramāṇa
