The Śākya teaching has the Non-dual Dharma Gate; Laozi speaks of the Gate of All Wonders; the Book of Documents says 'Misfortune and fortune have no gate.' All these are the groves of comprehensive penetration and the deep abysses of subtle function. A person who leaves home attains this meaning. Sang means extinction: extinguishing the toil of defilements and penetrating spiritual liberation—that is sangmen. Or sang may simply be a scribal error for cheng (vehicle): the 'Vehicle Gate' is the Great Vehicle Gate. When troublesome thoughts are extinguished, whatever one encounters is ridden upon; therefore, first it was called the Gate of Extinction, and later the Vehicle Gate. Moreover, the eighty-four thousand \[teachings\] are all called Dharma gates; why should there be only the two gates of sang and sang? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.8.62) - [Next: 8.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.8.64) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102~en-mt.8.63) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.8.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.8.63) · Pramāṇa
