How can it compare to the contemplation of principle, whose merit equals space? Hence a sūtra states: 'The Buddha said: "It is not self, yet it conforms to principle."' Why stubbornly cling to phenomena and external dusts instead of contemplating the mind and penetrating the path?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.6) - [Next: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.8) - [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.2.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2017.2.7) · Pramāṇa
