I answered: "Yes." "What should be taken?" I said: "From Buddhism, take emptiness. From Daoism, take non-action and spontaneity. Setting these aside, there is nothing to take." By emptiness, I mean taking their lack of desire for gain; by non-action and spontaneity, I mean taking their adherence to circumstance."' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 20.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.20.98) - [Next: 20.100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.20.100) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.20) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036~en-mt.20.99) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.20.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.20.99) · Pramāṇa
