If that were so, whether teaching or contemplation, they would merely display empty words, and there would be no path of cultivation and realization. As for Qingliang establishing the 'sudden-sudden', he recklessly claimed that it surpasses the Lotus Sūtra. (Master Chengguan classified the Avataṃsaka as 'sudden-sudden' and held Tiantai's classification of it as 'combining the distinct' to be a failure to capture the Tathāgata's intent. He also maintained that because the Avataṃsaka was requested by bodhisattvas, it surpasses the Lotus Sūtra.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 29.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.29.15) - [Next: 29.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.29.17) - [Up: 29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.29) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.29.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.29.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.29.16) · Pramāṇa
