Examining your separate letter, I felt deep sighing lamentation. Although formerly I was not well, thinking of your illness, among people coming and going I also never forgot it for a moment. Allotted destiny, adversity, and success are indeed not what ordinary intellect can fathom. Yet relying on the great source, there seem to be fixed criteria. Last autumn I read your treatise together with several others, and they also had points of agreement and disagreement. Looking at the intention of Gentleman Zhou's reply, he considered that worldly canons and the Buddhist teachings are roughly fitting in this regard. Now I seal and present it to you; I hope that on a day of leisure you will be able to examine it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.18.13) - [Next: 18.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.18.15) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.18.14) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.18.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.18.14) · Pramāṇa
