Even if they are born in the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception with a lifespan of eighty thousand kalpas, when their merits are exhausted they fall back into the three evil destinies. Therefore the Buddha told the good man: Of all painters, none surpasses the mind. The mind paints afflictions, afflictions paint karma, and karma paints the physical body. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 68.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.68.7) - [Next: 68.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.68.9) - [Up: 68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.68) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.68.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.68.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.68.8) · Pramāṇa
