At first he asked Qingfeng, "What is the student's self?" Qingfeng said, "The boy Bingding comes seeking fire." Later he called upon the Master. The Master asked, "Where have you come from?" He said, "I have come from Qingfeng." The Master said, "What words did Qingfeng have?" Ze related the previous dialogue. The Master said, "How did the sthavira understand it?" Ze said, "Bingding belongs to fire, yet still seeks fire; it is like using oneself to seek oneself." The Master said, "How could you understand it like that?" Ze said, "I only understand it thus; I wonder how the upādhyāya would put it?" The Master said, "Ask me, and I will tell you." Ze asked, "What is the student's self?" The Master said, "The boy Bingding comes seeking fire." Ze had a great awakening under these words. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1991.1.76) - [Next: 1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1991.1.78) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1991.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1991~en-mt.1.77) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1991.1.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1991.1.77) · Pramāṇa
