What is today's assembly?" The Master said: "The great assembly hears it universally." The monk said: "If so, then the Master is compassionate." The Master said: "The Twin Trees were still bearable; Kuśinagara was open on all four sides." The monk bowed. The Master said: "Today you arrived in the Western Heaven." The monk asked: "The teaching says: 'He who speaks the Dharma has neither speech nor indication; he who listens to the Dharma has neither hearing nor attainment.' I wonder, what Dharma should the Master speak today?" The Master said: "Declare your name after taking the staff!" The monk said: "If so, then the great assembly of humans and devas all receive the power of grace." The Master said: "A crime is not penalized twice." The monk asked: "Empty space is a provisional metaphor, obtaining names according to the place. I wonder, what kind of thing is it?" The Master said: "Abiding among humans and devas, it cannot be fathomed; entering the earth, it is buried even deeper." The monk said: "If so, then although the great assembly does not recognize it, throughout kalpas all are steeped in grace." The Master said: "Let the sword-blade falling on the shoulder cause whatever clamor it will; only by splitting the belly and opening the heart is it truly clear." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.18) - [Next: 1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.20) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992~en-mt.1.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.1.19) · Pramāṇa
