I venture to think that the spirit is dark and silent, and past sages did not transmit it. Xuan-ni still spoke of not discussing it; Master Zhuang vainly fabricated words about it. Seeking it in the bamboo tablets, one truly sighs over deep entanglement and mistaken perception. Now, this treatise issues forth with profound heavenly thought, its subtle purport concentrated and deep. The ultimate principle having been broadened, the workings of filial piety are also fully realized. It is truly sufficient to stride beyond myriad ages and illuminate coming generations. Your disciple was born into a flourishing era and has been privileged to behold these sagacious writings. Doubts having melted like ice in my bosom, my perplexities were genuinely dispelled at once. Among all those possessed of spiritual sentience, who would not drill and gaze upward? How much more should an ignorant person like me be deeply stirred to dance for joy! Wang Ji bows in reverence. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.10.70) - [Next: 10.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.10.72) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102~en-mt.10.71) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.10.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.10.71) · Pramāṇa
