When the sunlight appears, does it merge with darkness?" He replied: "No. When the sunlight appears, all darkness is absent." Vimalakīrti said: "Why does the sun travel through Jambudvīpa?" He replied: "It wishes to illuminate with brightness and remove darkness for its sake." / Third, questioning. The first question and answer clarify: light is naturally bright, and darkness cannot obscure it; this illustrates that the true body dwelling in defilement is undefiled. The second question and answer clarify: light can destroy that darkness; this illustrates that the bodhisattva transforms beings in the midst of mixed defilement. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.465](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.465) - [Next: 2.467](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.467) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.2.466) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩詰所說經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.vimalakirtinirdesa*zh-kumarajiva.3.67) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.466](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.466) · Pramāṇa
