I reply: "Manifesting transformations within the five sense-objects is called 'supernatural power' (abhijñā). If one transforms the phenomena of the five sense-objects with a deviant mind, that is illusion. Master Hui upheld the three mysteries, yoga, and homa methods to assist his correct absorption (samādhi). Treading upon blades and walking on flames—how could this be cause for astonishment? What illusion could there be? The Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra indeed speaks of three kinds of supernatural transformations." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.17.27) - [Next: 17.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.17.29) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.17) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061~en-mt.17.28) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.17.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.17.28) · Pramāṇa
