According to the Xuanmiao jing, Laozi rode the essence of the sun to enter the mouth of Qingmiao. This means Laozi rode the essence of a single eye to enter her mouth! Considering that the Great Dao and the Penetrating Spirit are omnipresent, must he rely on a single essence to enter the womb? If he had to rely on an essence, the essence depends on the head; if he rode the head to enter, both eyes would have come together. Now, to ride a single eye to enter—does this produce a Great Dao of one-sided sight? This is also laughable. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.9.65) - [Next: 9.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.9.67) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.9.66) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.9.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.9.66) · Pramāṇa
