Therefore, people of the time assessed them, saying: "Daosheng and Huirui express natural spontaneity; Huiyan and Huiguan grasp deep waters; Huiyi advances aggressively; and Daoyuan is silent and obstructed." Daosheng and Master Huirui alone were distinguished by the label of natural spontaneity, and thus stood pre-eminent above all scholars. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.6) - [Next: 7.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.8) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.7.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.7) · Pramāṇa
