Later there was a boy attendant. When an outsider asked, "What essential Dharma does the Venerable Monk teach?" the boy also held up a finger. When Zhi heard of this, he severed the boy's finger with a blade. Bearing the pain, the boy ran away wailing. Zhi called to him again. The boy turned his head, and Zhi then held up his finger; the boy suddenly had an awakening. When Zhi was about to pass away, he said to the assembly, "I attained Tianlong's one-finger Chan and have not exhausted its use in an entire lifetime." Having spoken, he passed away. The Master said, "Juzhi's undertaking was crude and careless; he only recognized one dynamic and one objective realm." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.76) - [Next: 1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.78) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a~en-mt.1.77) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [撫州曹山本寂禪師語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987b.2.9) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987a.1.77) · Pramāṇa
