In all cases, a shaded image is produced because of light, which is called jing." The Book of Documents says: 'Only shadow and echo.' Ge Hong's Ziyuan of the Jin dynasty added the radical 彡 beside it (pronounced like jing). In Sanskrit it is called bimbajāla, which here means 'the shadow of a body.' The Jingming shu says: "When an object obstructs light, a shadow appears. When the object differs, the shadow differs; when the object moves, the shadow moves. When ignorance and karmic activity obstruct the light of principle and wisdom, then the three things exist, and the reward body appears like a shadow with differing karmas, flowing and shifting without unity from birth to death." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.130](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.5.130) - [Next: 5.132](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.5.132) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.5.131) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.5.131](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.5.131) · Pramāṇa
