Such wondrous light is seen only by Buddha and Buddha; even bodhisattvas of the ten grounds do not see it clearly. Therefore, here it is spoken of only in small part; speaking of a small part is done for ordinary mortals. After the Buddha's parinirvāṇa, one who contemplates like this engages in right contemplation; if one contemplates otherwise, it is called wrong contemplation. This light eliminates sins as explained above. Only those who see the light attain clarity of mind and see a hundred billion Buddhas; seeing the white hair itself is a vision formed by mental conceptualization. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.4.8) - [Next: 4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.4.10) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643~en-mt.4.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.4.9) · Pramāṇa
